Rather than using linuxapp and bsdapp everywhere, we can change things to
use the, more readable, terms "linux" and "freebsd" in our build configs.
Rather than renaming the configs we can just duplicate the existing ones
with the new names using symlinks, and use the new names exclusively
internally. ["make showconfigs" also only shows the new names to keep the
list short] The result is that backward compatibility is kept fully but any
new builds or development can be done using the newer names, i.e. both
"make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" and "T=x86_64-native-linux-gcc"
work.

Moved duplicated, and occasionally outdated, doc sections from each
of the sample app guides chapters to a common chapter at the start.
This reduces the duplication in the docs and provides a single
point of reference for compiling the sample apps.

The coremask option in DPDK is difficult to use and we should be
promoting the use of the corelist (-l) option. The patch
adjusts the docs to use -l EAL option instead of the -c option.
The patch only changes the docs and not the code as the -c option
will continue to exist unless it is removed in the future. The -c
option should be kept to maintain backward compatibility.

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).
