Documentation: Fix kernel support matrix
The documentation matrix for OVS branches and which kernels they support is out of date. Update it to show that since 2.10 the lowest kernel that we test and support is Linux 3.16. RHEL and CentOS kernels based upon the original 3.10 kernel are still supported.

Open vSwitch userspace should also work with the Linux kernel module built
@@ -79,6 +79,10 @@ Q: What Linux kernel versions does each Open vSwitch release work with?
Open vSwitch userspace is not sensitive to the Linux kernel version. It
should build against almost any kernel, certainly against 2.6.32 and later.
+ Open vSwitch branches 2.10 through 2.14 will still compile against the
+ RHEL and CentOS 7 3.10 based kernels since they have diverged from the
+ Linux kernel.org 3.10 kernels.

Q: Are all features available with all datapaths?
A: Open vSwitch supports different datapaths on different platforms. Each
