Replace -w / --pci-whitelist with -a / --allow options
and --pci-blacklist with --block.
The -b short option remains unchanged.
Allow the old options for now, but print a nag
warning since old options are deprecated.

The Linux kernel module vfio-pci introduces the VF token to enable
SR-IOV support since 5.7.
The VF token can be set by a vfio-pci based PF driver and must be known
by the vfio-pci based VF driver in order to gain access to the device.
Since the vfio-pci module uses the VF token as internal data to provide
the collaboration between SR-IOV PF and VFs, so DPDK can use the same
VF token for all PF devices by specifying the related EAL option.

In the howto guide about flow bifurcation, the Mellanox case
(which does not require specific details) was missing in the landscape.
In the Linux drivers guide, it was not clear that the flow bifurcation
is performed in the NIC hardware.
References to flow isolated mode are also inserted in those contexts.

If the devices used for DPDK are bound to the "uio_pci_generic" kernel
module, the IOMMU should be disabled in order not to break the IO
transmission because of the virtual / physical address mapping.
The patch clarifies the IOMMU configurations on both x86_64 and arm64
systems.

Added notes to the documentation warning that if UEFI secure boot
is enabled the Linux kernel may disallow the use of UIO on the
system, and a suggested workaround of using the vfio-pci kernel
module instead of igb_uio or uio_pci_generic.

The UIO and VFIO sections should not be part of
the "Compiling the DPDK Target from Source" chapter,
as it is PMD specific and not true for all PMDs.
Instead, moving those sections to a new chapter
which include all kernel drivers being used along with
the different PMDs.
