doc: add PMD power management errata with RTM and GCC 9

Browse Source 
An errata exists where users may see reduced power savings when using
PMD Power Management. This issue occurs when compiling DPDK applications
with GCC-9 on platforms with TSX enabled. In rte_power_monitor_multi(),
the function may return without successfully starting the RTM
transaction (the _xbegin() fails).

* **Possible reduced power saving with PMD Power Management.**
Users may see reduced power savings when using PMD Power Management.
This issue occurs when compiling DPDK applications with GCC-9
on platforms with TSX enabled.
The function ``rte_power_monitor_multi()`` may return
without successfully starting the RTM transaction (``_xbegin()`` fails).
There are three workarounds for this issue.
Either build DPDK with GCC-11 or newer, build with shared libraries,
or build DPDK with fewer drivers.
