vzdump: config: improve description of ionice setting

Browse Source 
The CFQ scheduler was removed with Linux 5.0 and ionice is now used
by the newer BFQ scheduler. Mention what the special value 8 does.
Also mention that for snapshot and suspend mode backups of VMs, the
setting only affects the compressor, because the kvm process is not a
child process of vzdump then and does not inherit the ionice priority.
