[Bug 1787495] [NEW] no explanation for the events in the networkd-dispatcher manpage

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

networkd-dispatcher supports four hook directories:

$ ls /usr/lib/networkd-dispatcher/
dormant.d  no-carrier.d  off.d  routable.d
$

The manpage does not define what these hooks mean.  'routable' and 'no-
carrier' are self-explanatory, but it's not at all clear what 'dormant'
vs 'off' mean.  It's not at all clear what events one should expect to
see as part of device bring-up.

This needs to be better documented.
