pktgen: document the latest pktgen usage options

Browse Source 
Currently, the pktgen.rst documentation doesn't cover the latest pktgen
sample usage options such as count and IPv6, and so on. Also, this
documentation includes the old sample scripts which are no longer use
because it was removed by the commit a4b6ade835 ("samples/pktgen :
remove remaining old pktgen sample scripts")

Thus, this commit documents pktgen sample usage using the latest options
and removes old sample scripts, and fixes a minor typo.

The global variables being set are also listed. E.g. the required
interface/device parameter "-i" sets variable $DEV. Copy the
pktgen_sampleXX scripts and modify them to fit your own needs.
The old scripts::
pktgen.conf-1-2 # 1 CPU 2 dev
pktgen.conf-1-1-rdos # 1 CPU 1 dev w. route DoS
pktgen.conf-1-1-ip6 # 1 CPU 1 dev ipv6
pktgen.conf-1-1-ip6-rdos # 1 CPU 1 dev ipv6 w. route DoS
pktgen.conf-1-1-flows # 1 CPU 1 dev multiple flows.
