[PATCH v1 1/7] doc: fix blank lines in modify field action description

The modify field action description inside "Generic flow API (rte_flow)"
documentation, lists all operations supported for a destination field.
In addition, it lists the values supported for a encapsulation level
field.

Before the lists, in both cases, miss a blank line causing them to look
regular text lines.

This patch adds the blank lines.
