For different workloads and poll loops, the theshold
may be different for when you want to scale up and down.
This patch allows changing of the default branch ratio
by using the -b command line argument (or --branch-ratio=)

Add in the '-l' command line parameter (also --core-list)
So the user can now pass --corelist=4,6,8-10 and it will
expand out to 4,6,8,9,10 using the parse function provided
in parse.c (parse_set).
This list of cores is then used to enable out-of-band monitoring
to scale up and down these cores based on the ratio of branch
hits versus branch misses. The ratio will be low when a poll
loop is spinning with no packets being received, so the frequency
will be scaled down.
Also , as part of this change, we introduce a core_info struct
which keeps information on each core in the system, and whether
we're doing out of band monitoring on them.

Add extra commands to command line to allow enable/disable of
per-core turbo.
When a core has turbo enabled, calling for max frequency will allow it to
go to a turbo frequency (P0n).
When a core has turbo disabled, calling for max frequency will allow it to
go to the maximum non-turbo frequency (P1), but not beyond.

A wrapper around librte_power(using ACPI cpufreq), providing locking around the
non-threadsafe library, allowing for frequency changes based on core masks and
core numbers from both the CLI thread and epoll monitor thread.
