Since compat library is only a single header, we can easily move it into
the EAL common headers instead of tracking it separately. The downside of
this is that it becomes a little more difficult to have any libs that are
built before EAL depend on it. Thankfully, this is not a major problem as
the only library which uses rte_compat.h and is built before EAL (kvargs)
already has the path to the compat.h header file explicitly called out as
an include path.
However, to ensure that we don't hit problems later with this, we can add
EAL common headers folder to the global include list in the meson build
which means that all common headers can be safely used by all libraries, no
matter what their build order.
As a side-effect, this patch also fixes an issue with building on BSD using
meson, due to compat lib no longer needing to be listed as a dependency.

There is a missing depenency for building docs with "make doc-guides-pdf".
This causes it to break with "make[3]: latexmk: Command not found". This
was observed and reported in https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182
This patch fixes this issue by adding the latexmk package dependency in
sub-section 4.3.1 of the contributing guide ("Dependencies").

It is replaced by rte_spinlock_trylock() which is small and

Removed the hardcoded preconfigured Rx VLAN offload configuration
from testpmd and changed the Rx offload command line parameters from
disable to enable.
It has been decided by the Technical Board that testers who wish to
use these offloads will now have to explicitly write them in the
command-line when running testpmd.
The agreement is to keep two exceptions enabled by default in 18.02:
Rx CRC strip and Tx fast free.
Motivation:
Some PMDs such at the mlx4 may not implement all the offloads.
After the offload API rework assuming no offload is enabled by default,
commit ce17eddefc20 ("ethdev: introduce Rx queue offloads API")
commit cba7f53b717d ("ethdev: introduce Tx queue offloads API") trying
to enable a not supported offload is clearly an error which will cause
configuration failing.
Considering that testpmd is an application to test the PMD, it should
not fail on a configuration which was not explicitly requested.
The behavior of this test application is then turned to an opt-in
model.

The DPDK documentation guidelines state that lines should be wrapped as
follows:
* The recommended style for the DPDK documentation is to put sentences on
separate lines. This allows for easier reviewing of patches. ...
* Long sentences should be wrapped at 120 characters +/- 10 characters.
They should be wrapped at words.
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/documentation.html#line-length
However, in practice, users almost never submit doc patches in this format.
Instead most users wrap their doc patches at 80 characters.
This patch updates the documentation contributors guide to reflect this
as the recommended guideline.

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.
