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.

The variable optind should be reset to one not zero.
From the man page:
"The variable optind is the index of the next element to be processed in
argv. The system initializes this value to 1.
The caller can reset it to 1 to restart scanning of the same argv, or when
scanning a new argument vector.”
The problem I saw with my application was trying to parse the wrong
option, which can happen as DPDK parses the first part of the command line
and the application parses the second part. If you call getopt() multiple
times in the same execution, the behavior is not maintained when using
zero for optind.

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).
