doc: announce changes to event device structures

Commit Message
From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@marvell.com>
The structures ``rte_event_dev_info``, ``rte_event_fp_ops`` will be
modified to add new elements to support link profiles.
A new field ``max_profiles_per_port`` will be added to
``rte_event_dev_info`` and ``switch_profile`` will be added to
``rte_event_fp_ops``.
Two new experimental APIs will be added, one to associate one to
associate an set of event queues with a profile which can be linked
to a event port and another to switch the profile which would
affect the next dequeue call.

Please describe what profile means here. Meaning the usage model.
