The Verbs API used to implement Tx and Rx checksum offloads is deprecated.
Support for these will be added back after refactoring the PMD.

The Verbs RSS API used in this PMD is now obsolete. It is superseded by an
enhanced API with fewer constraints already used in the mlx5 PMD.
Drop RSS support in preparation for a major refactoring. The ability to
configure several Rx queues is retained, these can be targeted directly by
creating specific flow rules.
There is no need for "ignored" Rx queues anymore since their number is no
longer limited to powers of two.

Only the default port MAC address remains and is not configurable.
This is done in preparation for a major refactoring.

Current implementation is partial (Tx only), not convenient to use and
not of primary concern.
Remove this feature before refactoring the PMD.

Extend the LSC event handling to support the device removal as well. The
Verbs library will send several related events, that can conflict
with the LSC event itself.
The event handling has thus been made capable of receiving and signaling
several event types at once.

Convert the NIC feature table in the overview doc into a set of ini
files and add functions into the Sphinx conf.py file to auto-generate
them back into an RST table.
The reason for doing this is to make it easier for PMD maintainers to
update the feature matrix that makes up the table and to avoid
frequent and hard to resolve conflicts in doc/guides/nics/overview.rst.
A NIC/PMD feature matrix is now an ini file like the following:
$ head doc/guides/nics/nic_features/i40e.ini
;
; Features of the i40e network driver.
;
[Features]
Link status = Y
Link status event = Y
Rx interrupt = Y
Queue start/stop = Y
...
The output RST table matches the existing table with the column
headers sorted.
