docs: Add notes about limited MPLS-TE support
Add notes to several docs about the limits to FRR's current
MPLS-TE support, which is limited to some routing protocol
LSA/TLV support. It wasn't very clear that FRR does not offer
a complete TE/RSVP-TE solution at this time.
Also removed some stale info about configure script options.
