I agree with renaming too.
Everywhere in DPDK "socket ID" really means "NUMA node".

I don't see how exactly socket ID can be deduced from NUMA node or CPU core
(assuming rte_socket_id becomes rte_numa_node_id), but I also can't imagine
why an app would need it. EAL could use NUMA distance info for better memory
management: currently SOCKET_ID_ANY means "current NUMA node or the first one
with enough memory available" while it could be "or the closest one".
