[PATCH 14/29] doc/guides: improve vDPA sample application guide

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

Improve the vDPA sample application documentation:
- add Overview section for better document structure
- use consistent capitalization of vDPA
- replace contractions with full forms
- fix grammar and improve sentence clarity
- use proper article usage and punctuation
- replace abbreviations with full phrases

 Vdpa Sample Application
 =======================
 
-The vdpa sample application creates vhost-user sockets by using the
-vDPA backend. vDPA stands for vhost Data Path Acceleration which utilizes
-virtio ring compatible devices to serve virtio driver directly to enable
-datapath acceleration. As vDPA driver can help to set up vhost datapath,
-this application doesn't need to launch dedicated worker threads for vhost
