[PATCH net] Documentation: bareudp: update iproute2 sample commands

[PATCH net] Documentation: bareudp: update iproute2 sample commands

[Guillaume Nault]

bareudp.rst was written before iproute2 gained support for this new
type of tunnel. Therefore, the sample command lines didn't match the
final iproute2 implementation.

Applied, thank you.
