Documentation: ixgbevf: Prepare documentation for RST conversion

Before making the conversion to the RST (reStructured Text) format, there
are changes needed to the documentation so that there are no build errors.

Also fixed old/broken URLs to the correct or updated URL.

This file describes the ixgbevf Linux* Base Driver for Intel Network This driver supports 82599, X540, X550, and X552-based virtual function devices
Connection. that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV.
The ixgbevf driver supports 82599-based virtual function devices that can only
be activated on kernels with CONFIG_PCI_IOV enabled.
The ixgbevf driver supports virtual functions generated by the ixgbe driver For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
with a max_vfs value of 1 or greater. supplied with your Intel adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use
with Linux.
The guest OS loading the ixgbevf driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 32 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.

============================ ============================
SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
The guest OS loading this driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not
supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the
drivers.
VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 64 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
