doc: announce API change for extended stats

Browse Source 
This patch adds a notice that the API for the xstats
functionality will be modified in the 16.07 release, with
no backwards compatibility planned as it would require
code duplication in each PMD that supports xstats.

* The xstats API and rte_eth_xstats struct will be changed to allow retrieval
of values without any string copies or parsing.
No backwards compatibility is planned, as it would require code duplication
in every PMD that supports xstats.
* ABI changes are planned for adding four new flow types. This impacts
RTE_ETH_FLOW_MAX. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes,
but release 2.3 will. [postponed]
