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.

examples/multi_process: remove l2fwd fork example

l2fwd_fork relies on a multiprocess model that DPDK does not support
(calling rte_eal_init() before fork()), in particular in light of recent
EAL changes like the multiproess communication channel.

This example can mislead users into thinking this is a supported
multiprocess model; hence, this commit removes this example and the
corresponding user guide documentation as well.

This patch was made following this mailing list discussion:

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.
