The API function rte_eth_dev_fw_version_get() is querying drivers
via the operation callback fw_version_get().
The implementation of this operation is added for mlx4 and mlx5.
Both functions are copying the same ibverbs field fw_ver
which is retrieved when calling ibv_query_device[_ex]()
during the port probing.
It is tested with command "drvinfo" of examples/ethtool/.

the build system should be no longer called out as experimental.
NOTE: this does not imply it's the primary build system, just that
it's safe to use for day-to-day work and for packaging if so
desired.

Since 18.05, libnuma is pretty much required on Linux when using
non-legacy mode, because without it, we cannot know where our
hugepages are located [1].
In legacy mode, libnuma is not required because we can still sort
pages by sockets, as we use pagemap lookup method to figure out
socket ID's for pages.
So, document libnuma as required for NUMA systems and non-legacy
mode.
