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.

'OCTEON TX' is the registered name. All other usages need to be fixed.

Removed the hardcoded preconfigured Rx VLAN offload configuration
from testpmd and changed the Rx offload command line parameters from
disable to enable.
It has been decided by the Technical Board that testers who wish to
use these offloads will now have to explicitly write them in the
command-line when running testpmd.
The agreement is to keep two exceptions enabled by default in 18.02:
Rx CRC strip and Tx fast free.
Motivation:
Some PMDs such at the mlx4 may not implement all the offloads.
After the offload API rework assuming no offload is enabled by default,
commit ce17eddefc ("ethdev: introduce Rx queue offloads API")
commit cba7f53b71 ("ethdev: introduce Tx queue offloads API") trying
to enable a not supported offload is clearly an error which will cause
configuration failing.
Considering that testpmd is an application to test the PMD, it should
not fail on a configuration which was not explicitly requested.
The behavior of this test application is then turned to an opt-in
model.

This commit adds a section to the docs listing the platform
guide for the PMDs.
It then adds the octeontx platform guide to the listed platform
devices.
Patch also removes platform specific duplicate setup information from
eventdev/octeontx.rst, nics/octeontx.rst and update to
plaform/octeontx.rst.
