  Rearrange the order of the high level documenation index into
a more logical sequence for a new user.

Also, improve some of the high-level document names.

After this patch the high-level index will look like this:

    DPDK documentation

    * Getting Started Guide for Linux
    * Getting Started Guide for FreeBSD
    * Sample Applications User Guides
    * Programmer's Guide
    * HowTo Guides
    * DPDK Tools User Guides
    * Testpmd Application User Guide
    * Network Interface Controller Drivers
    * Crypto Device Drivers
    * Xen Guide
    * Contributor's Guidelines
    * Release Notes
    * FAQ

P.S.,

I would prefer not to have some of these are highest level items such as
"Xen Guide", and possibly "Crypto Device Drivers". Perhaps we could push
them down a level with "Network Interface Controller Drivers" under a
"Devices and Drivers" (or similar) section like:

    * ...
    * Programmer's Guide
    * HowTo Guides
    * DPDK Tools User Guides
    * Devices and Drivers      
        * Network Interface Controller Drivers
        * Crypto Device Drivers
        * Xen Guide
    * ...

Yes it may be an idea.
But as we will continue to support Xen Dom0, I think Xen should have
a special place somewhere (in Linux guide or separated)?
