kni: remove ethtool support

Current design requires kernel drivers and they need to be probed by
Linux up to some level so that they can be usable by DPDK for ethtool
support, this requires maintaining the Linux drivers in DPDK.

Also ethtool support is limited and hard, if not impossible, to expand
to other PMDs.

Since KNI ethtool support is not used commonly, if not used at all,
removing the support for the sake of simplicity and maintenance.

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.

fix ethdev port id validation

Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
- no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
- all allocated ports are available to the application

Such application assume a valid port index is in the range [0..count[.

There are three consequences when using such wrong design:
- new ports having an index higher than the port count won't be valid
- old ports being detached (RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED) can be valid

Such mistake will be less common with growing hotplug awareness.
All applications and examples inside this repository - except testpmd -
must be fixed to use the function rte_eth_dev_is_valid_port.

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.
