4a22e6ee3d doc: refactor figure numbers into references
This change adds automatic figure references to the docs. The
figure numbers in the generated Html and PDF docs are now
automatically numbered based on section.

Requires Sphinx >= 1.3.1.

The patch makes the following changes.

* Changes image:: tag to figure:: and moves image caption
  to the figure.

* Adds captions to figures that didn't previously have any.

* Un-templates the |image-name| substitution definitions
  into explicit figure:: tags. They weren't used more
  than once anyway and Sphinx doesn't support them
  for figure.

* Adds a target to each image that didn't previously
  have one so that they can be cross-referenced.

* Renamed existing image target to match the image
  name for consistency.

* Replaces the Figures lists with automatic :numref:
  :ref: entries to generate automatic numbering
  and captions.

* Replaces "Figure" references with automatic :numref:
  references.

2ee98e69e1 mbuf: clean old refcnt option
CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_SCATTER_GATHER was renamed into CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_REFCNT
by commit 62814bc2e9 and removed by commit 4769bc5a27.
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.

Fixes: d0dff9ba44 ("doc: sample application user guide")
Fixes: fc1f2750a3 ("doc: programmers guide")
Fixes: 4769bc5a27 ("mbuf: remove build option to disable refcnt")
