Subject: [PATCH] net/i40e: reduce debug messages

The patch reduces verbosity of driver messages by changing log level from
NOTICE to DEBUG when reporting the selected RX/TX path functions.

The changes look correct and follow the coding style guidelines. The
patch appropriately reduces log noise by moving informational messages
about RX/TX path selection from NOTICE to DEBUG level, which aligns with
the intended use of DEBUG for information primarily useful during
development and debugging.
