[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: announce change in IPv6 item struct

[Dekel Peled]

Struct rte_flow_item_ipv6 will be modified to include additional
values, indicating existence or absence of IPv6 extension headers
following the IPv6 header, as proposed in RFC
https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-August/177257.html.
Because of ABI break this change is proposed for 20.11.
