[1/2] multipath.conf(5): remove deprecated note for san_path_err algorithm

From: Martin Wilck <[e-mail]>

The paragraph stating that the san_path_err algorithm is deprecated
has been moved into the FPIN section by mistake.

Move it upward, and use a weaker wording. While the san_path_err algorithm is
technical inferior to the marginal_path approach, it is also easier to
understand and set up.  Furthermore, we documented that it's the replacement
for the delay_check algorithm. Therefore the strong "deprecated" wording is
exaggerated.

 Fibre channel fabrics can notify hosts about fabric-level issues such
 as integrity failures or congestion with so-called Fabric Performance
 Impact Notifications (FPINs).On receiving the fpin notifications through ELS
 multipathd will move the affected path and port states to marginal.
