bpf, docs: specify which BPF_ABS and BPF_IND fields were zero
Specifying which fields were unused allows IANA to only list as deprecated
instructions that were actually used, leaving the rest as unassigned and
possibly available for future use for something else.

These instructions used an instruction class of BPF_LD, a size modifier of BPF_W, BPF_H, or BPF_B, and a -mode modifier of BPF_ABS or BPF_IND. However, these instructions are -deprecated and should no longer be used. All legacy packet access -instructions belong to the "legacy" conformance group. +mode modifier of BPF_ABS or BPF_IND.
