This patch includes the configuration and script files of the some
applications which can be built using DPDK Packet Framework. A
configuration file defines the application structure which include
packet processing stages (knowns as pipelines), their connectivity
and other parameters necessary to start and run the application. A
script file specifies CLI commands required for loading table entries
(rules/routes, etc). The configuration/script files for simple
applications such as l2 forwarding, l3 forwarding have been presented.
In addition, to demonstrate the use and inter-connectivity of various
pipeline modules (which are avilable in packet framework), a complex
packet processing workload i.e. edge router is considered. The
configuration of the pipeline stages used for upstream and downstream
flow processing has been specified separately in two configuration
files. All these configuration and script files don't affect the
compilation.

Fix typos in sample console commands.
Remove "user@target:~$" prefixes in command lines.
Add --socket-mem 1024 to vhost-switch command lines.
Without the --socket-mem parameter all hugepages will be allocated
to vhost-switch, leaving no memory for the VM.
Add --disable-hw-vlan-filter parameter to testpmd command lines.
Without this parameter testpmd fails on startup in the VM.
Increase value of --sock-mem parameter to testpmd as original
value was too small.

Change the Sphinx default theme from "alabaster" to the ReadTheDocs
theme. See for example:

it has a 80 char wide verbatim block rendering.
Also add logos for the html and latex docs.

SR-IOV is supported using bnx2x poll mode driver running as VF driver and
native linux driver running as PF (in host/hypervisor). There is no issue
while running with the PF driver which is at the base version as that of
PMD. However, there is a compatibility issue between newer out-of-box PF
drivers with older VF driver. So the newer VFs would also need to send
BNX2X_VF_TLV_PHYS_PORT_ID (among other TLVs) to differentiate between
newer and older VFs.

If you stop and start the driver, the rx queue will have the previous
index values when programming the adapter. Therefore, we should always
reset the queue indices when the rx ring is setup. Note: We need to
clear (write) the status block's completion queue index since it is
possibly in a read cache.
Tidy some init code to make it clearer what the defaults are.
