doc: announce ethdev ABI change for LRO fields

It may be needed by the user to limit the LRO session packet size.
In order to allow the above limitation, a new Rx configuration may be
added for the maximum LRO session size.

A new capability may be added too to expose the maximum LRO session size
supported by the port.
