Documentation/eth/intel: Remove references to SourceForge

The out-of-tree driver is hosted on SourceForge, as this does not apply
to the kernel driver remove references to it. Also do some minor
formatting changes around this section.

ixgbe: Document how to enable NBASE-T support

Commit a296d665eae1 ("ixgbe: Add ethtool support to enable 2.5 and 5.0
Gbps support") introduced suppression of the advertisement of NBASE-T
speeds by default, according to Todd Fujinaka to accommodate customers
with network switches which could not cope with advertised NBASE-T
speeds, as posted in the E1000-devel mailing list:

https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/mailman/message/37106269/

However, the suppression was not documented at all, nor was how to
enable NBASE-T support.

Properly document the NBASE-T suppression and how to enable NBASE-T
support.

# 132db935 26-Jun-2020 Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

docs: networking: reorganize driver documentation again

Organize driver documentation by device type. Most documents
have fairly verbose yet uninformative names, so let users
first select a well defined device type, and then search for
a particular driver.

While at it rename the section from Vendor drivers to
Hardware drivers. This seems more accurate, besides people
sometimes refer to out-of-tree drivers as vendor drivers.
