Remove the description of the link0 link option, since r215297 the master
media option generally should be used instead. Actually I think the lists of media types should be removed from the manual pages of MAC drivers altogether and users just pointed to the output of `ifconfig -m` instead; even before r215297 there were several outdated descriptions, technically it's wrong most of the time as not the MAC drivers support these media types but actually the PHY drivers do and it generally doesn't make sense to maintain these lists in every manual page of a driver as the media is auto-detected.
