[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/7] add doc-guides-pdf target

[Thomas Monjalon <thomas.monjalon@6wind.com>]

First versions were written by John. I suggest this v5 for last changes.

This patchset adds support for creating PDF versions of the user guides.

Specifically:

    * The Programmer's Guide
    * The Linux Getting Started Guide
    * The FreeBSD Getting Started Guide
    * The Sample Applications User Guide
    * The TestPMD User Guide
    * The Release Notes

The local and online HTML documentation is very useful but we have had
internal and external requests from people who also liked the PDF
documentation in older releases.

The PDF generation is fully automated and uses the same Sphinx build system
and RST files used for the HTML docs but uses the 'latexpdf' target. In
addition to the standard Sphinx Python modules it requires the Tex/LaTeX
toolchain. For best results it requires a TexLive 'Full' installation.

The PDF documents are generated as follows:

    make doc
    # or more specifically
    make doc-guides-pdf

If you desire only HTML doc, use
    make doc-guides-html doc-api-html

V5 Changes:
    * Build PDF with HTML in generic "doc" target (not so long to build with -j)
    * Rename rules and build directory from latex to pdf
    * Split basic PDF build and tuning patches
    * Refactor rte.sdkdoc.mk changes to be aligned with HTML rules
    * Fix for Python 3
    * Remove blank pages

V4 Changes:
    * Changed RST image types to wildcard to allow Sphinx to decide
      the appropriate type.
    * Changed back to calling Sphinx generated makefile to ensure that
      the pdf files are created by Sphinx make rules.

V3 Changes:
    * Remove sub-directory config.py files and replaced them with metadata
      in the main doc/guides/conf.py file and a more generic make rule.
    * Added *.pdf targets with *.rst dependencies.
    * Call pdflatex directly (instead of from Sphinx) to control the
      verbosity of the output.

V2 Changes:
    * Removes config file duplication
    * Converts SVG files to PNG on the fly
    * Splits the patch into distinct mk/doc parts
    * Fixes issues in the RST docs that prevent PDF generation
