[iscsi] Clarify support for NOP-In

After a more accurate reading of RFC 3720, it becomes clear how NOPs
are supposed to work.  The current implementation (which just ignores
NOP-Ins) is sufficient to cope with NOP-Ins sent to update CmdSN, but
will need to be extended before it can cope with NOP-Ins sent as iSCSI
keepalives.
