The following tools may be installed system-wide.
It may be cleaner and more convenient to find them with the same
dpdk- prefix (especially for autocompletion).
Moreover, the script dpdk_nic_bind.py deserves a new name because it is
not restricted to NICs and can be used for e.g. crypto.
These files are renamed:
pmdinfogen -> dpdk-pmdinfogen
pmdinfo.py -> dpdk-pmdinfo.py
dpdk_pdump -> dpdk-pdump
dpdk_proc_info -> dpdk-procinfo
dpdk_nic_bind.py -> dpdk-devbind.py
setup.sh -> dpdk-setup.sh
The tools pmdinfogen, pmdinfo.py and dpdk_pdump are new in 16.07.
The scripts dpdk_nic_bind.py and setup.sh may have been used with
previous releases by end users. That's why a symbolic link still
provide the old name in the installed tools directory.

When compiled with a standard clang, pmdinfogen can raise a warning:
buildtools/pmdinfogen/pmdinfogen.c:365:1: warning:
control reaches end of non-void function
Actually there can be more warnings with stricter compilers.
In order to catch them early and fix most of them, the DPDK standard flags
WERROR_FLAGS are used.
The warnings fixed are:
no previous prototype for ...
no return statement in function returning non-void
variable ‘secstrings’ set but not used
‘sec_name’ defined but not used
‘get_symbol_index’ defined but not used
pointer of type ‘void *’ used in arithmetic

pmdinfogen is a tool used to parse object files and build json strings for
use in later determining hardware support in a dso or application binary.
pmdinfo looks for the non-exported symbol names this_pmd_name<n> and
this_pmd_tbl<n> (where n is a integer counter). It records the name of
each of these tuples, using the later to find the symbolic name of the
pci_table for physical devices that the object supports. With this
information, it outputs a C file with a single line of the form:
static char *<pmd_name>_driver_info[] __attribute__((used)) = " \
PMD_DRIVER_INFO=<json string>";
Where <pmd_name> is the arbitrary name of the pmd, and <json_string> is the
json encoded string that hold relevant pmd information, including the pmd
name, type and optional array of pci device/vendor ids that the driver
supports.
This c file is suitable for compiling to object code, then relocatably
linking into the parent file from which the C was generated. This creates
an entry in the string table of the object that can inform a later tool
about hardware support.
