doc: update mbuf section of programmers guide

In Release 1.8, the mbuf structure was significantly reworked to add
extra information, leading to the structure being split across two
cache lines, and the data pointer being replaced by an offset. The
description of the library in the programmer's guide document needs
to be updated to take account of these changes.
