intel-ethernet: rename i40evf to iavf
Rename the Intel Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function driver (i40evf) to a new name (iavf) that is more consistent with the ongoing maintenance of the driver as the universal VF driver for multiple product lines. This first patch fixes up the directory names and the .ko name, intentionally ignoring the function names inside the driver for now. Basically this is the simplest patch that gets the rename done and will be followed by other patches that rename the internal functions. This patch also addresses a couple of string/name issues and updates the Copyright year. Also, made sure to add a MODULE_ALIAS to the old name.

+This file describes the iavf Linux* Base Driver. This driver
+was formerly called i40evf.
+
+The iavf driver supports the below mentioned virtual function
+devices and can only be activated on kernels running the i40e or
+newer Physical Function (PF) driver compiled with CONFIG_PCI_IOV.
+The iavf driver requires CONFIG_PCI_MSI to be enabled.
+
+The guest OS loading the iavf driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
+
+Supported Hardware
+==================
+Intel XL710 X710 Virtual Function
+Intel X722 Virtual Function
+Intel Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function
