Correct the sample code in the pcap_ring.rst file to match the latest
rte_eth_ring.c code.
The parameters to the rte_eth_from_rings() function have changed since
the documentation was written.
The API change occurred before DPDK 1.8 when the rst files were added.
The original documentation on which the pcap_ring.rst file was based was
not correct.

Add virtual PMD which communicates with COMBO cards through sze2
layer using libsze2 library.
Since link_speed is uint16_t, there can not be used number for 100G
speed, therefore link_speed is set to ETH_LINK_SPEED_10G until the
type of link_speed is solved.

librte_pmd_mlx4.so needs to be linked with libibverbs otherwise, the PMD is
not able to open Mellanox devices and the following message is printed by
testpmd at startup
"librte_pmd_mlx4: cannot access device, is mlx4_ib loaded?".
Applications dependency on libibverbs are moved to be only valid in static
mode, in shared mode, applications do not depend on it anymore,
librte_pmd_mlx4.so keeps this dependency and thus is linked with libibverbs.
MLX4 cannot be supported in combined shared library because there is no clean
way of adding -libverbs to the combined library.

This change adds automatic figure references to the docs. The
figure numbers in the generated Html and PDF docs are now
automatically numbered based on section.
Requires Sphinx >= 1.3.1.
The patch makes the following changes.
* Changes image:: tag to figure:: and moves image caption
to the figure.
* Adds captions to figures that didn't previously have any.
* Un-templates the |image-name| substitution definitions
into explicit figure:: tags. They weren't used more
than once anyway and Sphinx doesn't support them
for figure.
* Adds a target to each image that didn't previously
have one so that they can be cross-referenced.
* Renamed existing image target to match the image
name for consistency.
* Replaces the Figures lists with automatic :numref:
:ref: entries to generate automatic numbering
and captions.
* Replaces "Figure" references with automatic :numref:
references.
