vty: update desc of conn-timeout

It can be used together with LCLS, just make sure to also enable
keep-alive packets.

In OS#3429 it was pointed out, that during LCLS the media path remains
active but is not used. Without any traffic flowing, this looks like a
timed out connection and so it will be killed if conn-timeout is set.

However, OsmoBSC and OsmoMSC have an option to enable RTP keep-alive
packets (through libosmo-mgcp, originally intended to keep connections
behind NAT open). If that option is enabled, the keep-alive packets
should also prevent the conn-timeout.
