[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] doc: add note for builtin-net-driver option

[Marvin Liu <yong.liu@intel.com>]

Very simple version of vhost-user driver in vhost sample will be used if
builtin-net-driver option is enabled. This driver is based on generic
vhost lib APIs. Unfortunately, the implementation is incompatible with
QEMU as protocol feature is not supported.
