doc: blk-ioprio: Bring the doc in line with the implementation 

Our system administrator have noted that the names 'rt-to-be' and
'all-to-idle' in the I/O priority policies table appeared without
explanations, leading to confusion. Let's bring these names in line
with the naming in the 'attribute' section.

Additionally,
1. Correct the interface name to 'io.prio.class'.
2. Add a table entry of 'promote-to-rt' for consistency.
3. Fix a typo of 'priority'.

- If I/O priority class policy is promote-to-rt, change the request I/O

level to 4.
- If I/O priorityt class is not promote-to-rt, translate the I/O priority

class policy into a number, then change the request I/O priority class
into the maximum of the I/O priority class policy number and the numerical
I/O priority class.
