examples/qos_sched: use bigger bursts on dequeue

While performance of the QoS block drops sharply if the dequeue size is
greater than or equal to the enqueue size, increasing the dequeue size
to just under the enqueue one gives improved performance when the
scheduler is not keeping up with the line rate.

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

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.
