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.
