[dpdk-stable] [PATCH stable master] README: indicate master branch is not used

[Kevin Traynor]

There has been a commit history on the dpdk-stable repo
master branch even though it is not actively used or really
defined what should be there. This is the default branch when
cloning the repo so it can be confusing.

Drop all history on dpdk-stable repo master branch back to the
initial commit and add to the existing README blurb that
stable/LTS branches should be used.

I would remove this line because it would need to be updated.

I would remove any reference to the doc directory in an empty branch.
Maybe better to reference the website: http://core.dpdk.org/doc/

Useless blank line here

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH stable master v2] README: indicate master branch is not used

[Kevin Traynor]

There has been a commit history on the dpdk-stable repo
master branch even though it is not actively used or really
defined what should be there. This is the default branch when
cloning the repo so it can be confusing.

Drop all history on dpdk-stable repo master branch back to the
initial commit and add to the existing README blurb that
stable/LTS branches should be used.

v2: remove reference to docs dir. Add acks from v1.

Note, this is intended to be in conjunction with 'git reset --hard'
to the initial DPDK commit on the dpdk-stable repo master branch.

You missed my previous comment about this line.
Windows is missing and other OS could be added.
I think it is better to remove this line completely.
