Documentation: net: dsa: mention availability of RedBox
Since commit 5055cccfc2d1 ("net: hsr: Provide RedBox support (HSR-SAN)"), RedBox is available (including for offload in DSA). Update the DSA documentation that states it isn't.

In Linux, both HSR and PRP are implemented in the hsr driver, which
