3e7b87dddb doc: add freebsd ports
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.

f9e2411af0 doc: adjust line lengths in freebsd guide
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.

dacdbfa457 doc: getting started guide for freebsd
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.
