The RX_OLFLAGS option was renamed from DISABLE to ENABLE in driver code
and linux config.
It is now renamed also in bsd config and documentation.
Fixes: 359f106a69 ("ixgbe: prefer enabling olflags rather than not disabling")

librte_pmd_mlx4.so needs to be linked with libibverbs otherwise, the PMD is
not able to open Mellanox devices and the following message is printed by
testpmd at startup
"librte_pmd_mlx4: cannot access device, is mlx4_ib loaded?".
Applications dependency on libibverbs are moved to be only valid in static
mode, in shared mode, applications do not depend on it anymore,
librte_pmd_mlx4.so keeps this dependency and thus is linked with libibverbs.
MLX4 cannot be supported in combined shared library because there is no clean
way of adding -libverbs to the combined library.

RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_RX_ALLOW_BULK_ALLOC config option is not really
necessary, as bulk alloc rx function can be used anyway, as long as the
necessary conditions are satisfied, which are checked already
in the library.

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.

CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_SCATTER_GATHER was renamed into CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_REFCNT
by commit 62814bc2e9 and removed by commit 4769bc5a27.
Some traces remain because of delayed patches.
It can also be removed from doxygen config.
It is now poisoned in rte_mbuf.h to warn any misuse.
