Christoph Anton Mitterer d79c158708 doc: clarify evaluation of chains
In particular:
- Mention that grouping of chains in tables is irrelevant to the evaluation
  order.
- Clarify that priorities only define the ordering of chains per hook.
- Improved potentially ambiguous wording “lower priority values have precedence
  over higher ones”, which could be mistaken as that rules from lower priority
  chains might “win” over such from higher ones (which is however only the case
  if they drop/reject packets).
  The new wording merely describes which chains are evaluated first, implicitly
  referring the question which verdict “wins” to the section where verdicts are
  described, and also should work when lower priority chains mangle packets (in
  which case they might actually be considered as having “precedence”).
