Our VLAN implementation (as it correctly expected) is not allowed

to modify the whole VLAN tags, but it is permitted to change 12-bit
VLAN identificators only. Reflect this fact on the appropriate man
pages.

Antti Kantee and Mihai Chelaru from #netbsd-code were helpful in
better understanding of VLAN stuff. Thank you!
