L3 Forwarding sample app user guides have some inconsistencies
between the example command line and the configuration table.
Also, they were showing too complicated configuration, using two
different NUMA nodes for two ports, which will probably lead
to performance drop due to use cross-socket channel.
This patch simplifies the configuration of these examples,
by using a single NUMA node and a single queue per port.

The l3fwd application route lookup mode can be selected at run time
but not at compile time. This patch corrects the statement in the doc.

The function rte_hash_lookup_multi() was renamed rte_hash_lookup_bulk()
in DPDK 1.4 and was kept as an undocumented alias.

As a example to use ptype info, l3fwd needs firstly to use
rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes() API to check if device and/or
its PMD driver will parse and fill the needed packet type; if not,
use the newly added option, --parse-ptype, to analyze it in the
callback softly.
As the mode of EXACT_MATCH uses the 5 tuples to caculate hash, so
we narrow down its scope to:
a. ip packets with no extensions, and
b. L4 payload should be either tcp or udp.
Note: this patch does not completely solve the issue, "cannot run
l3fwd on virtio or other devices", because hw_ip_checksum may be
not supported by the devices. Currently we can:
a. remove this requirements, or
b. wait for virtio front end (pmd) to support it.

MANY references in the sample applications user guide are wrong because
they are hard-coded and section numbers have changed over the time.
This patch changes thoses references to dynamic ones, in this way if
section numbers change the reference get updated automatically.

The 1.7 DPDK_SampleApp_UG 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 document contains some png image files. If any of thes png files are modified
they should be replaced with an svg file.
This is the fifth document from a set of 6 documents.
