Currently available NVIDIA NICs and DPUs
do not have a capability to calculate the UDP checksum
in the header added using encapsulation flow actions.
This limitation was not documented in mlx5 PMD docs.
This patch adds this limitation to the docs and
describes application requirements.

- ICMP(code/type/identifier/sequence number) / ICMP6(code/type/identifier/sequence number) matching,
IP-in-IP and MPLS flow matching are all mutually exclusive features which cannot be supported together
