man: drop documentation of internal lookup flags
This removes documentation of SD_RESOLVED_REQUIRE_PRIMARY and SD_RESOLVED_CLAMP_TTL, which are internal flags, and not usable from outside of resolved. They are refused by D-Bus APIs, for a reason. Various other fixes/clean-ups of the relevant docs (including reordering of the flags docs by "grouping" rather than bit values). Fixes: #26619
