[dpdk-dev] eal: fix libabi macro for device generalization patches
Commit Message
rte_device/driver generalization patches [1] were merged without a change
in the LIBABIVER macro. This patches bumps the macro of affected libs.
Also, deprecation notice from 16.07 has been removed and release notes for
16.11 added.

+* **Improved device/driver heirarchy and generalized hotplugging**

+ Device and driver relationship has been restructured by introducing generic
+ classes. This paves way for having PCI, VDEV and other device types as
+ just instantiated objects rather than classes in themselves. Hotplugging too
+ has been generalized into EAL so that ethernet or cryptodevices can use the
+ common infrastructure.

+ * removed pmd_type as way of segragation of devices

+ semantically correct with respect to device<=>driver relationship
+ * moved hotplugging support to EAL
