[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 3/3] doc: update ISA-L guide to reflect checksum support

[Lee Daly <lee.daly@intel.com>]

This updates the ISA-L compression driver guide on how to enable and use
checksums.

This also updates the compression drivers features matrix.

V2:
Documentation Changes
V3:
Added Release note
V4:
Removed depedency on offset unit test

  The above table only shows mapping when API calls for dynamic compression.

 Limitations
 -----------
 
 * Compressdev level 0, no compression, is not supported.
 
-* Checksums will not be supported until future release.

+   * **Enabled checksum support in the ISA-L compressdev driver.**
+
+     Added support for both adler and crc32 checksums in the ISA-L PMD.
