Per armv8 crypto extension support, make build always enable it by default
as long as compiler supports the feature while meson build only enables it
for 'default' machine of generic armv8 architecture.
It is known that not all the armv8 platforms have the crypto extension. For
example, Mellanox BlueField has a variant which doesn't have it. If crypto
enabled binary runs on such a platform, rte_eal_init() fails.
'+crypto' flag currently implies only '+aes' and '+sha2' and enabling it
will generate the crypto instructions only when crypto intrinsics are used.
For the devices supporting 8.2 crypto or newer, compiler could generate
such instructions beyond intrinsics or asm code. For example, compiler can
generate 3-way exclusive OR instructions if sha3 is supported. However, it
has to be enabled by adding '+sha3' as of today.
In DPDK, armv8 cryptodev is the only one which requires the crypto support.
As it even uses external library of Marvell which is compiled out of DPDK
with crypto support and there's run-time check for required cpuflags,
crypto support can be disabled in DPDK.

armv8-a has optional CRYPTO extension which adds the
AES, PMULL, SHA1 and SHA2 capabilities. -march=armv8-a+crypto
enables code generation for the ARMv8-A architecture together
with the optional CRYPTO extensions.
Added the following flags to detect the corresponding
capability at compile time.
* RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_AES
* RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_PMULL
* RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_SHA1
* RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_SHA2
At run-time, the following flags can be used to detect the
capabilities.
* RTE_CPUFLAG_AES
* RTE_CPUFLAG_PMULL
* RTE_CPUFLAG_SHA1
* RTE_CPUFLAG_SHA2

by default, all the targets will be configured with the 64-byte cache line
size, targets which have different cache line size can be overridden
through target specific config file.
Selected ThunderX and power8 as CONFIG_RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE=128 targets
based on existing configuration.

armv8-a has optional CRC32 extension, march=armv8-a+crc enables code
generation for the ARMv8-A architecture together with
the optional CRC32 extensions.
added RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_CRC32 to detect the availability of
CRC32 extension in compile time. At run-time, The RTE_CPUFLAG_CRC32
can be used to find the availability.
armv8-a+crc target support added in GCC 4.9,
Used inline assembly and emulated __ARM_FEATURE_CRC32 to work
with tool-chain < 4.9
