igb: Clarify idleslope config constraints

By design, the idleslope increments are restricted to 16.384kbps steps.
Add a comment to igb_main.c making that explicit and add one example
that illustrates the impact of that.

* For instance, if you want to configure a 2576kbps
* idleslope, the value to be written on the register

* up with less bandwidth available than originally
* required (~2572 kbps). If rounded up, you end up
* with a higher bandwidth (~2589 kbps). Below the
* approach we take is to always round up the
* calculated value, so the resulting bandwidth might
* be slightly higher for some configurations.
