Previously, it was possible to limit maximum amount of memory
allowed for allocation by creating validator callbacks. Although a
powerful tool, it's a bit of a hassle and requires modifying the
application for it to work with DPDK example applications.
Fix this by adding a new parameter "--socket-limit", with syntax
similar to "--socket-mem", which would set per-socket memory
allocation limits, and set up a default validator callback to deny
all allocations above the limit.
This option is incompatible with legacy mode, as validator callbacks
are not supported there.

Regular expressions are not the best way to match a hierarchical
pattern like dynamic log levels. And the separator for dynamic
log levels is period which is the regex wildcard character.
A better solution is to use filename matching 'globbing' so
that log levels match like file paths. For compatibility,
use colon to separate pattern match style arguments. For
example:
--log-level 'pmd.net.virtio.*:debug'
This also makes the documentation match what really happens
internally.

Currently, DPDK stores all pages as separate files in hugetlbfs.
This option will allow storing all pages in one file (one file
per memseg list).
We do this by using fallocate() calls on FreeBSD, however this is
only supported on fairly recent (4.3+) kernels, so ftruncate()
fallback is provided to grow (but not shrink) hugepage files.
Naming scheme is deterministic, so both primary and secondary
processes will be able to easily map needed files and offsets.
For multi-file segments, we can close fd's right away. For
single-file segments, we can reuse the same fd and reduce the
amount of fd's needed to map/use hugepages. However, we need to
store the fd's somewhere, so we add a tailq.

This adds a "--legacy-mem" command-line switch. It will be used to
go back to the old memory behavior, one where we can't dynamically
allocate/free memory (the downside), but one where the user can
get physically contiguous memory, like before (the upside).
For now, nothing but the legacy behavior exists, non-legacy
memory init sequence will be added later. For FreeBSD, non-legacy
memory init will never be enabled, while for Linux, it is
disabled in this patch to avoid breaking bisect, but will be
enabled once non-legacy mode will be fully operational.

Dynamic log types are registered on RTE_INIT() step.
This allows one to set log levels by EAL options on
application launch. However, this does not allow to
manage log types if they are created during runtime.
EAL does not store log levels and types passed from
the command line. Thus, they cannot be picked later.
This is an obvious flaw since it would be better to
be able to pick levels for dynamic types registered
for runtime-determined facilities such as NIC ports.
This patch provides a mechanism to store log levels
passed from EAL options and adds an API to register
log types and pick levels from the internal storage.

This patch uses pthread_getaffinity_np() to narrow down used
cores when none of below options is specified:

* corelist (-l)
* and coremap (--lcores)
The purpose of this patch is to leave out these core related options
when DPDK applications are deployed under container env, so that
users do not need decide the core related parameters when developing
applications. Instead, when applications are deployed in containers,
use cpu-set to constrain which cores can be used inside this container
instance. And DPDK application inside containers just rely on this
auto detect mechanism to start polling threads.
Note: previously, some users are using isolated CPUs, which could
be excluded by default. Please add commands like taskset to use
