We remove xen-specific code in EAL, including the option --xen-dom0,
memory initialization code, compiling dependency, etc.
Related documents are removed or updated, and bump the eal library
version.

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.

Update the Sphinx installation instructions in the documentation
contributors guide to reflect the fact that in the 1.4+ versions
of Sphinx the ReadTheDocs theme must also be installed. Previously,
in version 1.3.x, it was installed by default.
Also change 'yum' to 'dnf' for package installations.
