The following tools may be installed system-wide.
It may be cleaner and more convenient to find them with the same
dpdk- prefix (especially for autocompletion).
Moreover, the script dpdk_nic_bind.py deserves a new name because it is
not restricted to NICs and can be used for e.g. crypto.
These files are renamed:
pmdinfogen -> dpdk-pmdinfogen
pmdinfo.py -> dpdk-pmdinfo.py
dpdk_pdump -> dpdk-pdump
dpdk_proc_info -> dpdk-procinfo
dpdk_nic_bind.py -> dpdk-devbind.py
setup.sh -> dpdk-setup.sh
The tools pmdinfogen, pmdinfo.py and dpdk_pdump are new in 16.07.
The scripts dpdk_nic_bind.py and setup.sh may have been used with
previous releases by end users. That's why a symbolic link still
provide the old name in the installed tools directory.

The default was to compile every logs (including debug) and set
the default level to debug.
As some debug logs may hurt performance, a notice is added and the
default level is now info.
In order to enable debug logs, they must be compiled with
RTE_LOG_LEVEL=RTE_LOG_DEBUG and enabled at runtime with --log-level=8.

In HTML and PDF guides, it is clear in the header that the doc
is related to the DPDK.
So "DPDK" is redundant and can be removed from FAQ and release notes
titles to improve consistency.

The faq refers to Linux*, with an asterisk, without any equivalent
note or footnote. This is a legacy from older versions of the docs.
This update removes it.

Remove **Contents** and |Today| from the rst doc index files since
these are already added automatically to PDF files and are of
little value to the Html files where the Contents is shown in a
sidebar.

Update the documentation to reflect that the minimum Linux kernel
requirement for DPDK 2.2 has increased from 2.6.33 to 2.6.34.
Compatibility with kernel 2.6.33 was dropped, after discussion on
the mailing list, in the following commit:
