Update Portscout documentation
- Fix the description of the ignore Portscout key. The ignore key is not
meant to take a list of versions to skip as a value. This is the role
of the skipv Portscout key.
- Document the skipv Portscout key.
- Indicate that more documentation is available in the Portscout repository.
