[PATCH v5 0/3] lcore options cleanup

[Bruce Richardson]

This patchset performs some basic cleanup of EAL lcore arguments before
any more serious work is done on them (as discussed in previous patchset
revisions).

* mark the old coremask parameter (-c) and service core mask (-s) as
  deprecated, so they can be dropped in future. Everything should now be
  done using core lists where possible.
* consolidate the, previously separate but similar, "-l" and "--lcores"
  flags into just short and long versions of the same thing. This does
  not affect the "--lcores" flag at all, but expands the scope of what
  was possible with "-l".
* Add documentation of examples of use of the -l/--lcores parameter

V5: adjust the examples in patch 3, to only use quotes where necessary
  and explain in a note why they are sometimes used in the examples.

Bruce Richardson (3):
  eal: deprecate old coremask-based EAL parameters
  eal: merge corelist and core mapping options
  doc: provide examples of using lcores EAL parameter
