[dpdk-dev,1/4] doc: rename ABI chapter to deprecation

  This chapter is for ABI and API. That's why a renaming is required.

Remove also the examples which are now in the referenced guidelines.

Hi Thomas,

There are some pending doc patches on ABI changes that have been sent and ack-ed prior to this change.

Due to this change, they cannot be applied cleanly anymore. Are you OK to integrate them with the small local change required from your side?

Thanks,
Cristian

Yes it is a basic merge issue that is easily managed locally.

Though, it would be nice to have at least 3 acks on these patches,
as specified in the ABI policy.
