DOCS/man/options.rst: update description of `hwdec=auto` behaviour 

When I introduced the behaviour of `auto` trying every hwdec down the list
instead of giving up after the first one fails, I forgot to update this
part of the docs.

:rkmpp: requires ``--vo=gpu`` (some RockChip devices only)
``auto`` tries to automatically enable hardware decoding using the first
available method. This still depends what VO you are using. For example,
if you are not using ``--vo=gpu`` or ``--vo=vdpau``, vdpau decoding will
never be enabled. Also note that if the first found method doesn't actually
work, it will always fall back to software decoding, instead of trying the
next method (might matter on some Linux systems).
available method. This still depends what VO you are using. See the list
above, for which ``--vo`` and ``gpu-context`` is required for a given
hwdec. It will go down the list of available hwdecs until one is
successfully initialised. If all of them fail, it will fallback to software
decoding.
``auto-safe`` is similar to ``auto``, but allows only whitelisted methods
that are considered "safe". This is supposed to be a reasonable way to
