  General rewording and cleanup on the rte_event_dev_config structure.
Improved the wording of some sentences and created linked
cross-references out of the existing references to the dev_info
structure.

"overwhelmed" -> "exhausted"

While this is true, it's also a bit misleading. RTE_EVENT_OP_NEW events 
being backpressured is controlled by new_event_threshold on the level of 
the port.

Right. Will remove this statement, and instead add a cross-reference to the
new_event_threshold setting at the end of the comment.
