[PATCH] doc: announce rte_ipsec API changes

[Aakash Sasidharan <asasidharan@marvell.com>]

In case of event mode operations where event device can help in atomic sequence
number increment across cores, sequence number need to be provided by the
application instead of being updated in rte_ipsec or the PMD.
To support this, a new flag ``RTE_IPSEC_SAFLAG_SQN_ASSIGN_DISABLE`` will be added
to disable sequence number update inside IPsec library and the API
rte_ipsec_pkt_crypto_prepare will be extended to include ``sqn`` as an additional
parameter to specify sequence number to be used for IPsec from the application.

   Since these functions are not called directly by the application,
   the API remains unaffected.

 * pipeline: The pipeline library legacy API (functions rte_pipeline_*)
