General rewording and cleanup on the rte_event_dev_config structure.
Improved the wording of some sentences and created linked
cross-references out of the existing references to the dev_info
structure.
As part of the rework, fix issue with how single-link port-queue pairs
were counted in the rte_event_dev_config structure. This did not match
the actual implementation and, if following the documentation, certain
valid port/queue configurations would have been impossible to configure.
Fix this by changing the documentation to match the implementation
Bugzilla ID: 1368
Fixes: 75d113136f38 ("eventdev: express DLB/DLB2 PMD constraints")
Signed-off-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richard...@intel.com>

V3:
- minor tweaks following review
- merged in doc fix for bugzilla 1368 into this patch, since it fit with
other clarifications to the config struct.
