Introduce rte_event_vector datastructure which is capable of holding
multiple uintptr_t of the same flow thereby allowing applications
to vectorize their pipeline and reducing the complexity of pipelining
the events across multiple stages.
This approach also reduces the scheduling overhead on a event device.
Add a event vector mempool create handler to create mempools based on
the best mempool ops available on a given platform.

Some compilers raise an error when declaring a variable
in the middle of a function. This is a C99 allowance.
Even if DPDK switches globally to C99 or C11 standard,
the coding rules are for declarations at the beginning
of a block:
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/contributing/coding_style.html#local-variables
This coding style is enforced by adding a check of
the common patterns like "for (int i;"
The occurrences of the checked pattern are fixed:
'for *(\(char\|u\?int\|unsigned\|s\?size_t\)'
In the file dpaa2_sparser.c, the fix is to remove the unused macros.

Add small amount of additional code, use consistent variable names
across code blocks, change the image to represent queues and
CPU cores intuitively. These help improve the eventdev library
documentation.

This commit adds an entry in the programmers guide
explaining the eventdev library.
The rte_event struct, queues and ports are explained.
An API walktrough of a simple two stage atomic pipeline
provides the reader with a step by step overview of the
expected usage of the Eventdev API.
