[ovs-dev] [PATCH Branch-2.7] dpdk: Use DPDK 16.11.5 stable release.

Modify docs and travis linux build script to use DPDK 16.11.5 stable
branch to benefit from most recent bug fixes.

There are no new features introduced in the DPDK release, only back
ported bug fixes. For completeness these bug fixes have been
documented under the 16.11.5 section in the link below.
