PATCH 1/1 ip: officially support flag mngtmpaddr also for "ip addr del"

Kernel is being extended to support flag IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR also for deletion of addresses. This will allow a userspace application to indicate that for a global address the kernel should delete all related temporary addresses as well.

"ip addr del" internally calls ipaddr_modify which silently accepts any flag provided on the command line already, independent of the actual command.
Therefore only the usage documentation needs to be extended.
