This patch removes deprecated feature Flow Director from hinic.ini,
hinic.rst and release_19_11.rst, because the feature has been
removed from the feature list in the following commit:
Commit 030febb664 ("doc: remove deprecated ethdev features"), and
adds Flow API feature which is for generic filtering to doc files.
