Start a new release cycle with empty release notes.
The ABI version becomes 23.0.
The map files are updated to the new ABI major number (23).
The ABI exceptions are dropped and CI ABI checks are disabled because
compatibility is not preserved.
Special handling of removed drivers is also dropped in check-abi.sh and
a note has been added in libabigail.abignore as a reminder.

Make sure all functions which use the convention that XXX_free(NULL)
is a nop are all documented.
The wording is chosen to match the documentation of free(3).
"If ptr is NULL, no operation is performed."

[David: squashed with other series updates, unified wording]
rte_stats_bitrate_free() has been in DPDK since 20.11.
Its signature is very basic as it just frees an opaque
data struct allocated in rte_stats_bitrate_create()
and returns void.
It's unlikely that such a basic signature would need to change
so might as well promote it to stable for the next major ABI.

rte_stats_bitrate_calc() API states it returns 'Negative value on error'.
However, the implementation will return the error code from
rte_eth_stats_get() which may be non-zero on error.
Change the implementation of rte_stats_bitrate_calc() to match
the API description by always returning a negative value on error.

rte_stats_bitrate_reg() API states it returns 'Zero on success'.
However, the implementation directly returns the return of
rte_metrics_reg_names() which may be zero or positive on success,
with a positive value also indicating the index.
The user of rte_stats_bitrate_reg() should not care about the
index as it is stored in the opaque rte_stats_bitrates struct.
Change the implementation of rte_stats_bitrate_reg() to match
the API description by always returning zero on success.

There is no reason for the DPDK libraries to all have 'librte_' prefix on
the directory names. This prefix makes the directory names longer and also
makes it awkward to add features referring to individual libraries in the
build - should the lib names be specified with or without the prefix.
Therefore, we can just remove the library prefix and use the library's
unique name as the directory name, i.e. 'eal' rather than 'librte_eal'
