e2a94f9ad3 doc: remove references to make from apps guide
While make has been deprecated for DPDK, it's still applicable for
some example apps to be built standalone, this patch adjusts the
guides to take that into consideration.

cb056611a8 eal: rename lcore master and slave
Replace master lcore with main lcore and
replace slave lcore with worker lcore.

Keep the old functions and macros but mark them as deprecated
for this release.

The "--master-lcore" command line option is also deprecated
and any usage will print a warning and use "--main-lcore"
as replacement.

979e29ddbb raw/ioat: rename functions to be operation-agnostic
Since the hardware supported by the ioat driver is capable of operations
other than just copies, we can rename the doorbell and completion-return
functions to not have "copies" in their names. These functions are not
copy-specific, and so would apply for other operations which may be added
later to the driver.

Also add a suitable warning using deprecation attribute for any code using
the old functions names.

8db9dce72d rawdev: add private data size to config inputs
Currently with the rawdev API there is no way to check that the structure
passed in via the dev_private pointer in the structure passed to configure
API is of the correct type - it's just checked that it is non-NULL. Adding
in the length of the expected structure provides a measure of typechecking,
and can also be used for ABI compatibility in future, since ABI changes
involving structs almost always involve a change in size.
