network: Remove outdated/duplicate info from stress docs
testcases/network/stress/README contained outdated info: * Physical Topology - multiple management links are longer true after removing old ICMP/UDP/TCP/Multicast network stress tests (12c082e and earlier commits) duplicate info (described already in testcases/network/README.md) * Installation * Execution (network.sh) * RHOST environment variable Whole testcases/network/stress/README documentation should be probably merged into testcases/network/README.md anyway. Follow-up: 12c082e ("network: Remove outdated UDP stress tests") Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>

These tests require two machines. And each machine needs to have 2 or more

Control Link is used by the local host to control the remote host.

`control' means, for example, changing the setting of the interfaces that are

Test Links are the place where the stress tests run. For example, test packets
25-
flow those links. The number of test links must be at least 1. The setting of

the interfaces connected to the test links would be changed by the tests.

Therefore, each test link should not belong to any external network. It is
28-
recommended to connect each pair of interfaces with the ether cross cables.
