Emesary notifications: change explanation to match revised property for filtering outgoing properties

Browse source 
Change /sim/multiplay/transmit-only-generics to /sim/multiplay/transmit-filter-property-base, which can be 1 to transmit only generics, or a number greater than 1 to indicate the start index to transmit (e.g. 12000 for new emesary mp bridge properties)

# property /sim/multiplay/transmit-filter-property-base can be set to a number greater than 1 (e.g. 12000) to only transmit properties
# where the ID is greater than the value in the property. This can further reduce packet size by only transmitting the emesary bridge data
#
# The other advantage with this method of transferring data is that the model is in full control of what is
# sent, and also when it is sent. This works on a per notification basis so less important properties could be
