net/liquidio: remove LiquidIO ethdev driver

The LiquidIO product line has been substituted with CN9K/CN10K OCTEON product line smart NICs located at drivers/net/octeon_ep/. DPDK 20.08 has categorized the LiquidIO driver as UNMAINTAINED because of the absence of updates in the driver. Due to the above reasons, the driver removed from DPDK 23.07. Also removed deprecation notice entry for the removal in doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst and skipped removed driver file in ABI check in devtools/libabigail.abignore.
