APIs for selecting the architecure specific implementation and computing
the crc (16-bit and 32-bit CRCs) are added. For CRCs calculation, scalar
as well as x86 intrinsic(sse4.2) versions are implemented.
The scalar version is based on generic Look-Up Table(LUT) algorithm,
while x86 intrinsic version uses carry-less multiplication for
fast CRC computation.

Introduce the function rte_net_get_ptype() that parses a mbuf and
returns its packet type. For now, the following packet types are parsed:
L2: Ether
L3: IPv4, IPv6
L4: TCP, UDP, SCTP
The goal here is to provide a reference implementation for packet type
parsing. This function will be used by testpmd in next commits, allowing
to compare its result with the value given by the hardware.
This function will also be useful when implementing Rx offload support
in virtio pmd. Indeed, the virtio protocol gives the csum start and
offset, but it does not give the L4 protocol nor it tells if the
checksum is relevant for inner or outer. This information has to be
known to properly set the ol_flags in mbuf.

Previously, librte_net only contained header files. Add a C file
(empty for now) and generate a library. It will contain network helpers
like checksum calculation, software packet type parser, ...
