examples/distributor: update dynamic configuration

In this patch,
* It is possible to switch the running mode of the distributor
using the command line argument.
* With "-c" parameter, you can run RX and Distributor
on the same core.
* Without "-c" parameter, you can run RX and Distributor
on the different core.
* Consecutive termination of the lcores fixed.
The termination order was wrong, and you couldn't terminate the
application while traffic was capturing. The current order is
RX -> Distributor -> TX -> Workers
* When "-c" parameter is active, the wasted distributor core is
also deactivated in the main function.

In the Power Library, a new bit has been added to the mask returned by

Intel SST-BF high frequency core.

The distributor sample application has been enhanced to be aware of
Intel SST-BF high frequency cores. Docs also contain a link to
the Intel SST-BF application note.

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.

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.

doc: refactor figure numbers into references

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.
