[PATCH] multi_proc_support.rst: updated file location for config file in documentation

[Muhammad Jawad Hussain]

previously .rte_config was made at /var/run/.rte_config
for root users and $HOME/.rte_config for non-root users
now the file is renamed to config
 and is created at /var/run/dpdk/rte/config
for root users and /run/user/$EUID/dpdk/rte/config for non-root users
the docmentation of multi_proc_support has been updated
 to reflect this change

Hi,
I've submitted a patch on 17th March, 2022. One of the tests is failing
and it is not related to the patch.
Following test is failing:
- ci/iol-broadcom-Functional

Can you please rerun the tests so that the patch can be submitted.

Regards,
-Jawad
