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'

A timer adapter in periodic mode can be used to arm periodic timers.
This patch adds flags used to advertise capability and configure timer
adapter in periodic mode. Capability flag should be set for adapters
which support periodic mode.
Below is a programming sequence on the usage:
/* check for periodic mode support by reading capability. */
rte_event_timer_adapter_caps_get(...);
/* create adapter in periodic mode by setting periodic flag
(RTE_EVENT_TIMER_ADAPTER_F_PERIODIC) and resolution. */
rte_event_timer_adapter_create_ext(...);
/* arm periodic timer of configured resolution */
rte_event_timer_arm_burst(...);
/* timer event will be periodically generated at configured
resolution till cancel is called. */
while (running) { rte_event_dequeue_burst(...); }
/* cancel periodic timer which stops generating events */
rte_event_timer_cancel_burst(...);
