[1/5] doc: remove obsolete explanations from mlx5 guide
Checks
Commit Message
Vectorized routines were removed in result of Tx datapath refactoring,
and devarg keys documentation was updated.
However, more updating should have been done. In environment variables
doc, there was explanation according to vectorized Tx which isn't
relevant anymore.
This patch removes this irrelevant explanation.

The register would be flushed to HW usually when the write-combining buffer
becomes full, but it depends on CPU design.
- Except for vectorized Tx burst routines, a write memory barrier is enforced
- after updating the register so that the update can be immediately visible to
- HW.

- When vectorized Tx burst is called, the barrier is set only if the burst size
- is not aligned to MLX5_VPMD_TX_MAX_BURST. However, setting this environmental
