doc: add distributor library API change notice

Browse Source 
Given that the packet distributor library improvements (1) will
not be in 17.02, I plan on doing some consolidation of the
API for burst operation for 17.05, merging the two api's into
one, with options for single or burst operation.

PMDs that implement the latter.
Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
* distributor: library API will be changed to incorporate a burst-oriented
API. This will include a change to ``rte_distributor_create``
to specify which type of instance to create (single or burst), and
additional calls for ``rte_distributor_poll_pkt_burst`` and
``rte_distributor_return_pkt_burst``, among others.
