ethdev: add min/max MTU to device info

This addresses the usability issue raised by OVS at DPDK Userspace
summit. It adds general min/max MTU into device info. For compatibility,
and to save space, it fits in a hole in existing structure.

The initial version sets max MTU to normal Ethernet, it is up to
PMD to set larger value if it supports Jumbo frames.

Also remove the deprecation notice introduced in 18.11 regarding this
change and bump ethdev ABI version.

-* ethdev: Maximum and minimum MTU values vary between hardware devices. In
-  hardware agnostic DPDK applications access to such information would allow
-  a more accurate way of validating and setting supported MTU values on a per
-  device basis rather than using a defined default for all devices. To
-  resolve this, the following members will be added to ``rte_eth_dev_info``.
-  Note: these can be added to fit a hole in the existing structure for amd64
-  but not for 32-bit, as such ABI change will occur as size of the structure
-  will increase.
-
-  - Member ``uint16_t min_mtu`` the minimum MTU allowed.
-  - Member ``uint16_t max_mtu`` the maximum MTU allowed.
-
 * kni: remove KNI ethtool support. To clarify, this is not to remove the KNI,
   but only to remove ethtool support of it that is disabled by default and
   can be enabled via ``CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD_ETHTOOL`` config option.

+  The values of these fields can be set specifically by the PMD drivers as
