Edward Cree 6fb4825e49 docs: net: add an explanation of VF (and other) Representors
There's no clear explanation of what VF Representors are for, their
 semantics, etc., outside of vendor docs and random conference slides.
Add a document explaining Representors and defining what drivers that
 implement them are expected to do.
