Replace -w / --pci-whitelist with -a / --allow options
and --pci-blacklist with --block.
The -b short option remains unchanged.
Allow the old options for now, but print a nag
warning since old options are deprecated.

Update the documentation on building and running apps on FreeBSD, taking
account of having used meson for building. We can also update the section
on the command-line parameters, rather than claiming to be a complete list
of parameters, it should describe how to get the complete list and only
cover a few important ones.

Rather than using linuxapp and bsdapp everywhere, we can change things to
use the, more readable, terms "linux" and "freebsd" in our build configs.
Rather than renaming the configs we can just duplicate the existing ones
with the new names using symlinks, and use the new names exclusively
internally. ["make showconfigs" also only shows the new names to keep the
list short] The result is that backward compatibility is kept fully but any
new builds or development can be done using the newer names, i.e. both
"make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" and "T=x86_64-native-linux-gcc"
work.

DPDK has support for both sw and hw mempool and
currently user is limited to use ring_mp_mc pool.
In case user want to use other pool handle,
need to update config RTE_MEMPOOL_OPS_DEFAULT, then
build and run with desired pool handle.
Introducing eal option to override default pool handle.
Now user can override the RTE_MEMPOOL_OPS_DEFAULT by passing
pool handle to eal `--mbuf-pool-ops-name=""`.

The coremask option in DPDK is difficult to use and we should be
promoting the use of the corelist (-l) option. The patch
adjusts the docs to use -l EAL option instead of the -c option.
The patch only changes the docs and not the code as the -c option
will continue to exist unless it is removed in the future. The -c
option should be kept to maintain backward compatibility.

The GCC 4.9 -march option supports the intel code names for processors,
for example -march=silvermont, -march=broadwell.
The RTE_MACHINE config flag can be used to pass code name to
the compiler as -march flag.
Release notes is updated.
Linux and FreeBSD getting started guides are updated with recommended
gcc version as 4.9 and above.
Some of the gmake command examples in sample application guide and driver
guides are updated with gcc version as 4.9.

This is a useful default for simple applications where the assignment
of lcores to CPUs doesn't matter. It's also useful for more complex
applications that automatically assign tasks to cores based on the
NUMA topology.

Since the DPDK is now part of the BSD ports collection, we should
recommend installing from ports as the best way to get it up and
running.
In order to achieve this, while still keeping the document readable, the
chapter on system requirements has been moved to instead be a section
within the chapter on compiling the DPDK outside of the ports
collection. This move is necessary, since it covered a lot of detail on
installing other ports required to build DPDK. These steps are not
needed when installing DPDK itself from ports.

The FreeBSD GSG rst files had very inconsistent line lengths for text
within paragraph blocks. Sometimes a line would be very short, while often
lines would be quite long.
This patch adjusts the formatting of the rst files so that lines break
at approx the 80-character mark, as is standard in the DPDK source code.

The 1.7 DPDK_FreeBSD_GSG document in MSWord has been converted to rst format for
use with Sphinx. There is an rst file for each chapter and an index.rst file
which contains the table of contents.
The top level index file has been modified to include this guide.
This is the second document from a set of 6 documents.
