Add guidelines and tooling for AI-assisted code review of DPDK
patches.

AGENTS.md provides a two-tier review framework: correctness bugs
(resource leaks, use-after-free, race conditions) are reported at
>=50% confidence; style issues require >80% with false positive
suppression. Mechanical checks handled by checkpatches.sh are
excluded to avoid redundant findings.

The analyze-patch.py and review-doc.py scripts support multiple AI
providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Google) with mbox splitting,
prompt caching, direct SMTP sending, and token usage tracking with
optional cost estimation.
