Take help function in iplink_bridge.c as an example and make other link
types' help functions similar:
* Use a single fprintf() call (if possible).
* Don't state a full command line, just "... type OPTIONS".
* Put every option in it's own line, align options by column.
* List mandatory options first.
link_veth.c is intentionally left untouched because it's 'peer' option
eats all kinds of generic link options and the help text points this out
without duplicating all the options there again.

Allow to print particular link type usage by:
ip link help [TYPE]
Currently to print usage for some link type it is needed
to use the following way:
ip link { add | del | set } type TYPE help

This patch improves many error messages as follows:
- For incorrect parameters, show the value of the offending parameter, rather than just say that it is incorrect
- Rephrased messages for clarity
- Rephrased to more `mainstream' english
