mk: use linux and freebsd in config names

Rather than using linuxapp and bsdapp everywhere, we can change things to
use the, more readable, terms "linux" and "freebsd" in our build configs.
Rather than renaming the configs we can just duplicate the existing ones
with the new names using symlinks, and use the new names exclusively
internally. ["make showconfigs" also only shows the new names to keep the
list short] The result is that backward compatibility is kept fully but any
new builds or development can be done using the newer names, i.e. both
"make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" and "T=x86_64-native-linux-gcc"
work.

net/virtio-user: fix hugepage files enumeration

After the commit 2a04139f66b4 ("eal: add single file segments option"),
one hugepage file could contain multiple hugepages which are further
mapped to different memory regions.

Original enumeration implementation cannot handle this situation.

This patch filters out the duplicated files; and adjust the size after
the enumeration.

doc: use corelist instead of coremask

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.
