  According to our docs, only Linuxapp supports base-virtaddr option.
That is, strictly speaking, not true because most of the things
that are attempting to respect base-virtaddr are in common files,
so FreeBSD already *mostly* supports this option in practice.

This commit fixes the remaining bits to explicitly support
base-virtaddr option, and moves the arg parsing from EAL to common
options parsing code. Documentation is also updated to reflect
that all platforms now support base-virtaddr.

This patch is deferred to 19.11.

Ok, a bit misleading to put in linux_gsg/, so writing this here if
someone else looks at this :-)

Well, obviously, this needs some rebase on 19.11-rc0 :-)

Nit: when compared to Linux implementation, the reattach step does not
recommend using the --base-virtaddr in case the remmapping failed.

This was agreed upon when this file was first introduced. We don't have 
a "common" section and there's no real way to create it without 
triggering a bunch of errors in doxygen, so it was decided that putting 
this in a Linux GSG is the best way to do this.
