This chapter is for ABI and API. That's why a renaming is required.
Remove also the examples which are now in the referenced guidelines.

People have been asking for ways to use the ABI macros, heres some docs to
clarify their use. Included is:
* An overview of what ABI is
* Details of the ABI deprecation process
* Details of the versioning macros
* Examples of their use
* Details of how to use the ABI validator
Thanks to John Mcnamara, who duplicated much of this effort at Intel while I was
working on it. Much of the introductory material was gathered and cleaned up by
him.

Jenkins hash function was developed originally in 1996,
and was integrated in first versions of DPDK.
The function has been improved in 2006,
achieving up to 35% better performance, compared to the original one.
This patch integrates that code into the rte_jhash library.
It also updates the precalculated hash values in the unit test,
as the code now returns different values (expected).
A final note has been added in release notes for stating
the changes made.

Add a new wrapper to rte_mempool_create() to simplify the creation
of a packet mbuf pool.
This wrapper can be used if there is no specific mempool flags, and
no specific mbuf or pool constructor function, which is most of the
use cases.

Deduct the mbuf data room size from mempool->elt_size and priv_size,
instead of using an hardcoded value that is not related to the real
buffer size.
To use rte_pktmbuf_pool_init(), the user can either:
- give a NULL parameter to rte_pktmbuf_pool_init(): in this case, the
private size is assumed to be 0, and the room size is
mp->elt_size - sizeof(struct rte_mbuf).
- give the rte_pktmbuf_pool_private filled with appropriate
data_room_size and priv_size values.
