Having packets received without any offload flags given in the mbuf is not
very useful, and performance tests with testpmd indicates little
benefit is got with the current code by turning off the flags. This makes
the build-time option pointless, so we can remove it.

The coremask option in DPDK is difficult to use and we should be
promoting the use of the corelist (-l) option. The patch
adjusts the docs to use -l EAL option instead of the -c option.
The patch only changes the docs and not the code as the -c option
will continue to exist unless it is removed in the future. The -c
option should be kept to maintain backward compatibility.

This patch adds a note to the ixgbe PMD guide, stating
the minimum time that statistics must be polled from
the hardware in order to avoid register values becoming
saturated and "sticking" to the max value.

RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_RX_ALLOW_BULK_ALLOC config option is not really
necessary, as bulk alloc rx function can be used anyway, as long as the
necessary conditions are satisfied, which are checked already
in the library.

CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_SCATTER_GATHER was renamed into CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_REFCNT
by commit 62814bc2e923 and removed by commit 4769bc5a27cc.
Some traces remain because of delayed patches.
It can also be removed from doxygen config.
It is now poisoned in rte_mbuf.h to warn any misuse.
