From: Ralf Lici <[email protected]>

Thresholds specified by --reneg-bytes and --reneg-pkts cannot be
enforced when DCO is enabled, as it only provides global statistics.

Rather than adding complexity to support these options, ignore them when
DCO is enabled. Print a warning to inform users and update the manpage
accordingly.
