Through testing with AKS, I determined that networking with XDP acceleration does not work correctly with the Mellanox ConnectX-3 NIC on Azure. This has also been cross-referenced as a known issue in the NVidia documentation (ref: 1550266). This PR updates to documentation to be clearer about this.
There are also some version and parameter inaccuracies for setting up a cluster with AKS that are corrected in this PR.

Fixes: #29065, #27289
