Currently in scale mode, multi-queue initialization will attempt to
initialize and de-initialize the per-lcore power library structures
multiple times. Fix it to only do this whenever we either enabling
first queue or disabling last queue.

Use the new multi-monitor intrinsic to allow monitoring multiple ethdev
Rx queues while entering the energy efficient power state. The multi
version will be used unconditionally if supported, and the UMWAIT one
will only be used when multi-monitor is not supported by the hardware.

Currently, there is a hard limitation on the PMD power management
support that only allows it to support a single queue per lcore. This is
not ideal as most DPDK use cases will poll multiple queues per core.
The PMD power management mechanism relies on ethdev Rx callbacks, so it
is very difficult to implement such support because callbacks are
effectively stateless and have no visibility into what the other ethdev
devices are doing. This places limitations on what we can do within the
framework of Rx callbacks, but the basics of this implementation are as
follows:
- Replace per-queue structures with per-lcore ones, so that any device
polled from the same lcore can share data
- Any queue that is going to be polled from a specific lcore has to be
added to the list of queues to poll, so that the callback is aware of
other queues being polled by the same lcore
- Both the empty poll counter and the actual power saving mechanism is
shared between all queues polled on a particular lcore, and is only
activated when all queues in the list were polled and were determined
to have no traffic.
- The limitation on UMWAIT-based polling is not removed because UMWAIT
is incapable of monitoring more than one address.
Also, while we're at it, update and improve the docs.

Currently, we expect that only one callback can be active at any given
moment, for a particular queue configuration, which is relatively easy
to implement in a thread-safe way. However, we're about to add support
for multiple queues per lcore, which will greatly increase the
possibility of various race conditions.
We could have used something like an RCU for this use case, but absent
of a pressing need for thread safety we'll go the easy way and just
mandate that the API's are to be called when all affected ports are
stopped, and document this limitation. This greatly simplifies the
`rte_power_monitor`-related code.

There is no reason for the DPDK libraries to all have 'librte_' prefix on
the directory names. This prefix makes the directory names longer and also
makes it awkward to add features referring to individual libraries in the
build - should the lib names be specified with or without the prefix.
Therefore, we can just remove the library prefix and use the library's
unique name as the directory name, i.e. 'eal' rather than 'librte_eal'
