bridge.4: Remove incorrect line + polish
In an AMA on Community Discord, it was revealed that simply setting a
bridge to up is not equivelant to setting it as "inet6 auto_linklocal".
Remove the incorrect line, and while here:
+ reset sysctl list width to indent, saving 2/13 lines on MANWIDTH 59/80
+ tag spdx + break two long lines over 80 characters
MFC after: 3 days
