doc: add information for Rx burst functions in mlx5

  mlx5 pmd supports various rx_burst functions.
Each function is enabled differently and supports different features.

Add more comprehensive information about each function.

Hi, Asaf

There is one more devargs to manage MPRQ enable: "rxqs_min_mprq".
This parameters defines the number of Rx queues limit to enable MPRQ.
If there is not enough Rx queues (below the limit) then MPRQ is disabled.
By default, "rxqs_min_mprq" is 12. I suppose we should mention this in
the list being added.

With best regards, Slava
