The pdump tool works as the secondary process. When the primary process
exits and the residual secondary process keeps running, it will make the
primary process can't start up again. Since the ex-fbarry files are still
attached by the secondary process pdump, the 'new' primary process can't
get these files locked.
The patch is to set up an alarm which runs every 0.5s periodically
to monitor the primary process in the pdump. Once the primary exits,
so will the pdump.

Add option --multi, to enhance pdump application to allow capture
on unique cores for each --pdump option. If option --multi is ignored
the default capture occurs on single core for all --pdump options.

The --server-socket-path and --client-socket-path options
have already been removed. So also remove them from the doc
to avoid confusion.

Updated note to make users aware that the packet capture framework
is initialized by default only in testpmd. Other primary applications
need to explicitly modify the code to do this initialization.

This is to clarify the scope of these documents that are more tools than
sample applications.
Also this is a preparation step to add more tools and generate man pages
off of their rst files.
