i40evf: update i40evf.txt with new content The addition of the AVF and virtchnl code to the i40evf driver means we should update the i40evf.txt file with the most up to date information. It seems this file hasn't been updated in a while, so the changes cover a little more than just AVF, but it's all only in the i40evf.txt.

The i40evf driver supports the below mentioned virtual function
devices and can only be activated on kernels running the i40e or
newer Physical Function (PF) driver compiled with CONFIG_PCI_IOV.
The i40evf driver requires CONFIG_PCI_MSI to be enabled.
