[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] doc: remove flow API from the feature list

"Flow API" is a method/API to implement various filtering features, on
its own it doesn't give much context on what features are provided. And
it is not really a feature, so doesn't fit into feature table.

Also since other filtering related APIs, 'filter_ctrl', has been
deprecated, flow API is the only supported way in the DPDK to implement
filtering options, if related filter options announced by PMDs, listing
"Flow API" as implemented is redundant information.
