doc: reword some sample app guides

I have reviewed these sections for grammar/clarity
and made small modifications to the formatting of sections
to adhere to a template which will create uniformality
in the sample application user guides overall.

doc: use code snippets in sample app guides

Currently the sample app user guides use hard coded code snippets,
this patch changes these to use literalinclude which will dynamically
update the snippets as changes are made to the code.
This was introduced in commit 413c75c33c40 ("doc: show how to include
code in guides"). Comments within the sample apps were updated to
accommodate this as part of this patch. This will help to ensure that
the code within the sample app user guides is up to date and not out
of sync with the actual code.

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.

The coremask option in DPDK is difficult to use and we should be

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.
