[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/3] doc: update ISA-L guide to reflect checksum support

[Lee Daly]

This updates the ISA-L compression driver guide on how to enable and use
checksums.

This also updates the compression drivers features matrix.
Will add to release notes once the 19.02.rst file is added.

  The above table only shows mapping when API calls for dynamic compression.
  For fixed compression, regardless of API level, internally ISA-L level 0 is always used.

 Limitations
 -----------
 
 * Compressdev level 0, no compression, is not supported.
 
-* Checksums will not be supported until future release.
