This patch converts the NIC feature table in the overview doc into a set of
ini files and adds some functions into the Sphinx conf.py file to convert them
back into an RST table.

The reason for doing this is to make it easier for PMD maintainers to update
the feature matrix that makes up the table and to avoid frequent and hard to
resolve conflicts in doc/guides/nics/overview.rst.

Great idea!

Yes, indeed!

The old formats also make the review hard (due to the long/messy diff).
I was also kidding/wishing before that it'd be great if we could have a
column-based diff file. With your proposal, we don't need it any more :)
