[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: announce removal of ethdev flow director API

[Thomas Monjalon]

The flow director config, part of the legacy filtering API,
was marked as deprecated last year.
A separate notice is added to make clear that these specific structs
will be removed as well in DPDK 20.11, as the rest of the legacy
filtering API.
