Modify travis linux build script to use the latest DPDK stable release
18.11.2. Update docs for latest DPDK stable releases.
Note: due to commit [1] in DPDK 18.11.2, the behaviour of the vhost
destroy callback has changed. DPDK 18.11.2 is now the default DPDK
release currently supported. DPDK 18.11.1 and below are no longer
supported.

callback")
