The driver may change offloads info into dev->data->dev_conf
in dev_configure which may cause port->dev_conf and port->rx_conf
contain outdated values.

This patch adds a new API "rte_eth_dev_conf_get()" to help users
get device configuration info.

Add information about the new API in release notes.
