bfdd: warn users about echo-mode restrictions

Browse Source 
Echo-mode implementation is currently broken. Instead of sending packets
to it's own address, bfdd is sending echo packets to the peer's address.
It may seem to work when testing between two FRR instances, because FRR
loops back such packets, but no other implementation is supposed to do
that.

Let's warn users that the current implementation works only between two
FRR instances.
