examples/l2fwd: add promiscuous mode option

The default behaviour of l2fwd is to exit if we are unable to turn
promiscuous mode on. On some aws instances turning promiscuous mode
on is not permitted. In such cases there should be a way to run the
application without promiscuous mode.

This patch allows user to turn promiscuous mode on via command line
parameter. l3fwd has a similar option available.

Add 'RTE_ETH' namespace to all enums & macros in a backward compatible
way. The macros for backward compatibility can be removed in next LTS.
Also updated some struct names to have 'rte_eth' prefix.

All internal components switched to using new names.

net: rename Ethernet header fields

Definition of `rte_ether_addr` structure used a workaround allowing DPDK
and Windows SDK headers to be used in the same file, because Windows SDK
defines `s_addr` as a macro. Rename `s_addr` to `src_addr` and `d_addr`
to `dst_addr` to avoid the conflict and remove the workaround.

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.
