b0a49787b4 usertools: remove dpdk-setup.sh
This old script relied on deprecated stuff, and especially make.
It also applied some scary 666 permissions on files under /dev/vfio.

Its deprecation had been notified in a previous release, remove it.

3ee567cfec doc: document all EAL parameters in one place
Currently, the most complete (but still incomplete) user guide for
EAL command-line parameters resides in user guide for testpmd.
This is wrong on multiple levels, and should not be the case.

To fix it, we have to create a document that lists all supported
EAL command-line arguments. However, because different platforms
support different subsets of available EAL parameters, instead of
creating a single file, we will create a common file in
doc/guides/common containing documentation for EAL parameters
that are supported on all of our supported platforms (Linux and
FreeBSD at the time of this writing).

We will then include this document in the Getting Started guides
for all supported platforms, so that any changes made to
documentation for commonly supported EAL parameters will be
reflected in Getting Started guides for all platforms.

This patch also removes EAL parameters documentation from the
testpmd user guide, and instead adds references to the newly
created documents in both testpmd user guides and in sample
applications guide.

0db52e6694 doc: move kernel drivers to a new chapter
The UIO and VFIO sections should not be part of
the "Compiling the DPDK Target from Source" chapter,
as it is PMD specific and not true for all PMDs.

Instead, moving those sections to a new chapter
which include all kernel drivers being used along with
the different PMDs.

Remove **Contents** and |Today| from the rst doc index files since
these are already added automatically to PDF files and are of
little value to the Html files where the Contents is shown in a
sidebar.

a9bc351cd4 doc: auto-generate date in guides
The index.html file for each of the "guide" docs had a hard-coded
date value in them of June 2014. Rather than update each of these
for each revision, just use the |today| directive to insert the date
at which the document was generated.
