qapi-schema: Fix up misleading specification of netdev_add
It doesn't take a 'props' argument, let alone one in the format "NAME=VALUE,..." The bogus arguments specification doesn't matter due to 'gen': false. Clean it up to be incomplete rather than wrong, and document the incompleteness. While there, improve netdev_add usage example in the manual: add a device option to show how it's done.
