To differentiate libraries that break ABI, we add a library version number
suffix to the library, which must be incremented when a given libraries ABI is
broken. This patch enforces that addition, sets the initial abi soname
extension to 1 for each library and creates a symlink to the base SONAME so that
the test applications will link properly.

Include rte_memory.h for lib files that use __rte_cache_aligned
attribute.
Consider the following code:
struct per_core_foo {
...
} __rte_cache_aligned;
struct global_foo {
struct per_core_foo foo[RTE_MAX_CORE];
};
If __rte_cache_aligned is not defined (rte_memory.h is not included),
the code compiles but the structure is not aligned... it defines the
structure and creates a global variable called __rte_cache_aligned.
And this can lead to really bad things if this code is in a .h that
is included by files that may or may not include rte_memory.h

CACHE_LINE_SIZE is a macro defined in machine/param.h in FreeBSD and
conflicts with DPDK macro version.
Adding RTE_ prefix to avoid conflicts.
CACHE_LINE_MASK and CACHE_LINE_ROUNDUP are also prefixed.

With introduction of in_flight_bitmask, the whole 32 bits of tag can be
used. Further more, this patch fixed the integer overflow when finding
the matched tags.
The maximum number workers is now defined as 64, which is length of
double-word. The link between number of workers and RTE_MAX_LCORE is
now removed. Compile time check is added to ensure the
RTE_DISTRIB_MAX_WORKERS is less than or equal to size of double-word.

This field is added for librte_distributor. User of librte_distributor
is advocated to set value of mbuf->hash.usr before calling
rte_distributor_process. The value of usr is the tag which stands as
identifier of flow.

Add in some additional comments around more complex areas of the code
so as to make the code easier to read and understand.

The rte_pktmbuf structure was initially included in the rte_mbuf
structure. This was needed when there was 2 types of mbuf (ctrl and
packet). As the control mbuf has been removed, we can merge the
rte_pktmbuf into the rte_mbuf structure.
Advantages of doing this:
- the access to mbuf fields is easier (ex: m->data instead of m->pkt.data)
- make the structure more consistent: for instance, there was no reason
to have the ol_flags field in rte_mbuf
- it will allow a deeper reorganization of the rte_mbuf structure in the
next commits, allowing to gain several bytes in it

The function rte_snprintf serves no useful purpose. It is the
same as snprintf() for all valid inputs. Deprecate it and
replace all uses in current code.
Leave the tests for the deprecated function in place.

Take the existing get_pkt API and split out the parts for requesting a new
packet from the part to poll for arrival of a new packet. These individual
functions can then be used independently of the get function, which still acts
as before.
The split functions for request and poll will allow a worker to pull
packets from multiple distributors, or to act as multiple workers with a
single distributor if needed for better performance.

This adds the code for a new Intel DPDK library for packet distribution.
The distributor is a component which is designed to pass packets
one-at-a-time to workers, with dynamic load balancing. Using the RSS
field in the mbuf as a tag, the distributor tracks what packet tag is
being processed by what worker and then ensures that no two packets with
the same tag are in-flight simultaneously. Once a tag is not in-flight,
then the next packet with that tag will be sent to the next available
core.
