[SR-Users] Unclear documentation for "priority" field in Dispatcher module

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

if you do:

kamctl dispatcher dump

the output shows the destinations in the order they are going to be used
(first printed is going to be the first used).

Afterwards, making a pull request to clarify the priority order rule
would be appreciated ;-)

Cheers,
Daniel
