Three command line options where left out of documentation,
--leader-only, --no-leader-only and --unixctl. This patch updates the
documentation to include the flags.

+      By default, or with <code>--leader-only</code>, when the database
+      server is a clustered database, <code>ovn-trace</code> reads only
+      from the cluster leader.  This ensures that the data
+      <code>ovn-trace</code> reads is up-to-date.  With
+      <code>--no-leader-only</code>, <code>ovn-trace</code> uses any
+      server in the cluster, which means that it can read stale data.
+      Refer to <code>Understanding Cluster Consistency</code> in
+      <code>ovsdb</code>(7) for more information.
