Since the DPDK is now part of the BSD ports collection, we should
recommend installing from ports as the best way to get it up and
running.
In order to achieve this, while still keeping the document readable, the
chapter on system requirements has been moved to instead be a section
within the chapter on compiling the DPDK outside of the ports
collection. This move is necessary, since it covered a lot of detail on
installing other ports required to build DPDK. These steps are not
needed when installing DPDK itself from ports.

The FreeBSD GSG rst files had very inconsistent line lengths for text
within paragraph blocks. Sometimes a line would be very short, while often
lines would be quite long.
This patch adjusts the formatting of the rst files so that lines break
at approx the 80-character mark, as is standard in the DPDK source code.

The index.html file for each of the "guide" docs had a hard-coded
date value in them of June 2014. Rather than update each of these
for each revision, just use the |today| directive to insert the date
at which the document was generated.
