Hi Connor,

What do you think adding 'FEC' feature to the NIC feature list documentation. 
'doc/guides/nics/features/default.ini',
and explain new feature in the feature documentation:
'doc/guides/nics/features.rst'?

This is both good for documentation feature and NICs having a way to advertise 
this support.
