This patch updates the "Source Organisation" section of the Programmers Guide
to add an note that the code in the drivers/net/pmd/base directories should
not be modifed by the user apart from the pmd_osdep.[ch] files.

It also adds a note to the README files in the drivers/net/pmd/base dirs to
highlight the same thing.

P.S. When reviewing documentation patches it is sometimes useful to apply them to a temp
branch and view the differences on a word or character level:

    git diff --color-words   HEAD~1
    git diff --color-words=. HEAD~1
