ethernet: improve kconfig option descriptions

Also limit suggested EMAC task priority range to 22, as the top priority
should be used only by IPC tasks.

Receive Buf user copy mode or pointer mode.
If this options is selected, a copy of each received buffer will be created when
passing it from the Ethernet MAC (L2) to the IP stack (L3). Otherwise, IP stack
will receive pointers to the DMA buffers used by Ethernet MAC.
When Ethernet MAC doesn't have any unused buffers left, it will drop incomming
packets (flow control may help with this problem, to some extent).
The buffers for the IP stack are allocated from the heap, so the total number of
receive buffers is limited by the available heap size, if this option is selected.
If unsure, choose n.
