dpctl: Update docs about dump-flows and HW offloading.
Since introduction of dynamic flow API for netdevs, tricky accesses to uninitialized flow API are no longer possible. So, ovs-dpctl doesn't support dumping HW offloaded flows now. Claim this in docs and man pages. Additionally forbidden 'type' argument for 'ovs-dpctl dump-flows'. Signed-off-by: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@samsung.com> Acked-by: Roi Dayan <roid@mellanox.com>
