When introducing rte_eth_tx_prepare(), the constraints on checksum
pre-filling for Tx offloads were relaxed because implemented in
the PMDs with rte_net_intel_cksum_flags_prepare() helper.
As a consequence, these old requirements are removed for:
- PKT_TX_OUTER_IP_CKSUM
- PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM
- PKT_TX_[L4]_CKSUM
- PKT_TX_TCP_SEG
Not sure SCTP offload is properly implemented though.
A reference to rte_eth_tx_prepare() is added in rte_eth_tx_burst() doc.
Fixes: 609dd68ef14f ("mbuf: enhance the API documentation of offload flags")
Fixes: 4fb7e803eb1a ("ethdev: add Tx preparation")

Add few details to remind TSO flag, checksum flags and header lengths.
The doxygen syntax for MPLS-in-UDP is fixed.
