Subject: man: describe masking of .network files better

This should clear up some confusion in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/717.

This basically copies the description from systemd.unit to this
man page. Masking can happen also in /run, so strike the part
about /etc, and also add the magic work "mask".
