e2a94f9ad3 doc: remove references to make from apps guide
While make has been deprecated for DPDK, it's still applicable for
some example apps to be built standalone, this patch adjusts the
guides to take that into consideration.

cb056611a8 eal: rename lcore master and slave
Replace master lcore with main lcore and
replace slave lcore with worker lcore.

Keep the old functions and macros but mark them as deprecated
for this release.

The "--master-lcore" command line option is also deprecated
and any usage will print a warning and use "--main-lcore"
as replacement.

3504db92b5 examples/multi_process: remove l2fwd fork example
l2fwd_fork relies on a multiprocess model that DPDK does not support
(calling rte_eal_init() before fork()), in particular in light of recent
EAL changes like the multiproess communication channel.

This example can mislead users into thinking this is a supported
multiprocess model; hence, this commit removes this example and the
corresponding user guide documentation as well.

This patch was made following this mailing list discussion:

7cacb05655 doc: add generic build instructions for sample apps
Moved duplicated, and occasionally outdated, doc sections from each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.

35b09d76f8 doc: use corelist instead of coremask
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.

513b07238a doc: fix references in sample apps guide
MANY references in the sample applications user guide are wrong because
they are hard-coded and section numbers have changed over the time.
This patch changes thoses references to dynamic ones, in this way if
section numbers change the reference get updated automatically.

4a22e6ee3d doc: refactor figure numbers into references
This change adds automatic figure references to the docs. The
figure numbers in the generated Html and PDF docs are now
automatically numbered based on section.

Requires Sphinx >= 1.3.1.

The patch makes the following changes.

* Changes image:: tag to figure:: and moves image caption
  to the figure.

* Adds captions to figures that didn't previously have any.

* Un-templates the |image-name| substitution definitions
  into explicit figure:: tags. They weren't used more
  than once anyway and Sphinx doesn't support them
  for figure.

* Adds a target to each image that didn't previously
  have one so that they can be cross-referenced.

* Renamed existing image target to match the image
  name for consistency.

* Replaces the Figures lists with automatic :numref:
  :ref: entries to generate automatic numbering
  and captions.

* Replaces "Figure" references with automatic :numref:
  references.

This allows Sphinx to decide the appropriate image type

d0dff9ba44 doc: sample application user guide
The 1.7 DPDK_SampleApp_UG document in MSWord has been converted to rst format for
use with Sphinx. There is an rst file for each chapter and an index.rst file
which contains the table of contents.
The top level index file has been modified to include this guide.

This document contains some png image files. If any of thes png files are modified
they should be replaced with an svg file.

This is the fifth document from a set of 6 documents.
