Extend port_id definition from uint8_t to uint16_t in lib and drivers
data structures, specifically rte_eth_dev_data. Modify the APIs,
drivers and app using port_id at the same time.
Fix some checkpatch issues from the original code and remove some
unnecessary cast operations.
release_17_11 and deprecation docs have been updated in this patch.

This patch implements PQoS as a sample application.
PQoS allows management of the CPUs last level cache,
which can be useful for DPDK to ensure quality of service.
The sample app links against the existing 01.org PQoS library
(https://github.com/01org/intel-cmt-cat).
