We remove xen-specific code in EAL, including the option --xen-dom0,
memory initialization code, compiling dependency, etc.
Related documents are removed or updated, and bump the eal library
version.

When a change makes really hard to keep ABI compatibility,
instead of waiting next release to break the ABI, it is smoother
to introduce the new code as a preview and disable it when packaging.
The flag RTE_NEXT_ABI must be used to "ifdef" the new code.
When the release is out, a dynamically linked application can use
the new shared libraries with the old ABI while developpers can prepare
their application for the next ABI by reading the deprecation notice
and easily testing the new code.
When starting the next release cycle, the "ifdefs" will be removed
and the ABI break will be marked by incrementing LIBABIVER. The map
files will also be updated.
The default value is enabled to be developer compliant.
The packagers must disable it as done in pkg/dpdk.spec.
When enabled, all shared library numbers are incremented by appending
a minor .1 to the old ABI number. In the next release, only impacted
libraries will have a major +1 increment.
The impacted libraries must provide an alternative map file to use
with this option.
The ABI policy is updated.

Since -core suffix was removed from the package names in commit
6f2760ecdf, the file name should also be updated.
The alignment of build commands is also changed to prepare next patch.

- no version in name
- rename dpdk-core and dpdk-core-devel to dpdk and dpdk-devel
- devel depends on main package
- split API doc in a separated package
- prefer %global over %define
- add scripts/ directory (needed for libraries based on DPDK)
- build for Nehalem CPU (ixgbe-vec and acl don't build for default CPU)
- build pcap PMD
- build xen PMD

The "default" part in configuration filenames is misleading.
Rename this as "native", as this is the RTE_MACHINE that is set in these files.
This should make it clearer for people who build DPDK on a system then run it on
another one.
