doc: add installing from FreeBSD package

Update the FreeBSD GSG to cover installing from the pre-built package as
well as installing from a port.

Also, since the port is now based on meson, update the instructions for
compiling and running the example applications.

=========================================
The easiest way to get up and running with the DPDK on FreeBSD is to
install it from the ports collection. Details of getting and using the ports
collection are documented in the
`FreeBSD Handbook <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html>`_.
install it using the FreeBSD `pkg` utility or from the ports collection.
Details of installing applications from packages or the ports collection are documented in the
`FreeBSD Handbook <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html>`_,
chapter `Installing Applications: Packages and Ports <https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports.html>`_.
Installing the DPDK FreeBSD Port
--------------------------------
.. note::
On a system with the ports collection installed in ``/usr/ports``, the DPDK
can be installed using the commands:
Please ensure that the latest patches are applied to third party libraries
and software to avoid any known vulnerabilities.
.. code-block:: console
cd /usr/ports/net/dpdk
Installing the DPDK Package for FreeBSD
---------------------------------------
make install
DPDK can be installed on FreeBSD using the command::
After the installation of the DPDK port, instructions will be printed on
pkg install dpdk
After the installation of the DPDK package, instructions will be printed on
how to install the kernel modules required to use the DPDK. A more
complete version of these instructions can be found in the sections
:ref:`loading_contigmem` and :ref:`loading_nic_uio`. Normally, lines like
those below would be added to the file ``/boot/loader.conf``.
.. code-block:: console
.. code-block:: shell

Installing the DPDK FreeBSD Port
--------------------------------
If so desired, the user can install DPDK using the ports collection rather than from
a pre-compiled binary package.
On a system with the ports collection installed in ``/usr/ports``, the DPDK
can be installed using the commands::
cd /usr/ports/net/dpdk
make install
Compiling and Running the Example Applications
----------------------------------------------
When the DPDK has been installed from the ports collection it installs
its example applications in ``/usr/local/share/dpdk/examples`` - also accessible via
symlink as ``/usr/local/share/examples/dpdk``. These examples can be compiled and
run as described in :ref:`compiling_sample_apps`. In this case, the required
environmental variables should be set as below:
its example applications in ``/usr/local/share/dpdk/examples``.
These examples can be compiled and run as described in :ref:`compiling_sample_apps`.
* ``RTE_SDK=/usr/local/share/dpdk``
.. note::
* ``RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-freebsd-clang``
DPDK example applications must be complied using `gmake` rather than
BSD `make`. To detect the installed DPDK libraries, `pkg-config` should
also be installed on the system.
