[Bug 283400] if_bridge(4) contains false statement about link address selection

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283400

--- Comment #5 from Maxim Konovalov <maxim@FreeBSD.org> ---
So, I created the following diff that does two changes:

1. Clarifies the MAC address type, it is UAA instead of LAA.

2. Makes it clear that it is not random but rather a hash.

The man page already covered possible MAC address conflict across different
machines so I left this part intact.

Please let me know if the above good enough to be committed.
