net: ena: update ena documentation

Browse source 
The PCI vendor IDs in the documentation inaccurately describe the ENA
devices. For example, the 1d0f:ec20 can have LLQ support. The driver
loads in LLQ mode by default, and a message is printed to the kernel
ring if the mode isn't supported by the device, so the device table
isn't needed.

Also, LLQ can support various entry sizes, so the documentation is
updated to reflect that.

Interrupt moderation description is also updated to be more accurate.

Some of the ENA devices support a working mode called Low-latency
Queue (LLQ), which saves several more microseconds.

@ -212,20 +202,11 @@ In adaptive interrupt moderation mode the interrupt delay value is
updated by the driver dynamically and adjusted every NAPI cycle
according to the traffic nature.
By default ENA driver applies adaptive coalescing on Rx traffic and
conventional coalescing on Tx traffic.
Adaptive coalescing can be switched on/off through ethtool(8)
adaptive_rx on|off parameter.
The driver chooses interrupt delay value according to the number of
bytes and packets received between interrupt unmasking and interrupt
posting. The driver uses interrupt delay table that subdivides the
range of received bytes/packets into 5 levels and assigns interrupt
delay value to each level.
The user can enable/disable adaptive moderation, modify the interrupt
delay table and restore its default values through sysfs.
