6wind-virtual-accelerator-plugin: update doc to better describe tunnel support

The current plugin version can fully support (and accelerate) only Fuel VLAN
tunnels that use a dedicated interface.
Future versions will add support for VxLAN/GRE and bridged VLANs.
This patch updates documentation to describe this scenario
