84fb33fec1 build: remove deprecated cpuflag macros
Replace use of RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG macros with regular compiler
macros, which are more complete than those provided by DPDK, and as such
it allows new instruction sets to be leveraged without having to do
extra work to set them up in DPDK.

ecaed092b6 ring: return remaining entry count when dequeuing
Add an extra parameter to the ring dequeue burst/bulk functions so that
those functions can optionally return the amount of remaining objs in the
ring. This information can be used by applications in a number of ways,
for instance, with single-consumer queues, it provides a max
dequeue size which is guaranteed to work.

fc1f2750a3 doc: programmers guide
The 1.7 DPDK_Prog_Guide document in MSWord has been converted to rst format for
use with Sphinx. There is an rst file for each chapter and an index.rst file
which contains the table of contents.
The top level index file has been modified to include this guide.

This document contains some png image files. If any of these png files are modified
they should be replaced with an svg file.

This is the sixth document from a set of 6 documents.
