[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] net/mlx5: add TCP and IPv6 to supported flow items list in Windows

[Tal Shnaiderman]

WINOF2 2.70 Windows kernel driver allows DevX rule creation
of types TCP and IPv6.

Added the types to the supported items in mlx5_flow_os_item_supported
to allow them to be created in the PMD.

Added description of new rules support in Windows kernel driver WINOF2 2.70
to the mlx5 driver guide.
