If at build phase we don't make any trie splitting,
then temporary build structures and resulting RT structure might be
much bigger than current.
>From other side - having just one trie instead of multiple can speedup
search quite significantly.
>From my measurements on rule-sets with ~10K rules:
RT table up to 8 times bigger, classify() up to 80% faster
than current implementation.
To make it possible for the user to decide about performance/space trade-off -
new parameter for build config structure (max_size) is introduced.
Setting it to the value greater than zero, instructs rte_acl_build() to:
- make sure that size of RT table wouldn't exceed given value.
- attempt to minimise number of tries in the table.
Setting it to zero maintains current behaviour.
That introduces a minor change in the public API, but I think the possible
performance gain is too big to ignore it.

At error app_acl_init() can return without freeing dynamically allocated memory.
Not really a big problem, as if app_acl_init() fails,
then application would terminate immediately anyway.
Though it is a good coding practise to make a function to cleanup after itself.

For apps that were using default rte_eth_rxconf and rte_eth_txconf
structures, these have been removed and now they are obtained by
calling rte_eth_dev_info_get, just before setting up RX/TX queues.

Since commit a155d430119 ("support link bonding device initialization"),
rte_eal_pci_probe() is called in rte_eal_init().
So it doesn't have to be called by application anymore.
It has been fixed for testpmd in commit 2950a769315,
and this patch remove it from other applications.

The rte_pktmbuf structure was initially included in the rte_mbuf
structure. This was needed when there was 2 types of mbuf (ctrl and
packet). As the control mbuf has been removed, we can merge the
rte_pktmbuf into the rte_mbuf structure.
Advantages of doing this:
- the access to mbuf fields is easier (ex: m->data instead of m->pkt.data)
- make the structure more consistent: for instance, there was no reason
to have the ol_flags field in rte_mbuf
- it will allow a deeper reorganization of the rte_mbuf structure in the
next commits, allowing to gain several bytes in it

Make ACL library to build/work on 'default' architecture:
- make rte_acl_classify_scalar really scalar
(make sure it wouldn't use sse4 instrincts through resolve_priority()).
- Provide two versions of rte_acl_classify code path:
rte_acl_classify_sse() - could be build and used only on systems with sse4.2
and upper, return -ENOTSUP on lower arch.
rte_acl_classify_scalar() - a slower version, but could be build and used
on all systems.
- Addition of a new function rte_acl_classify_alg. This function lets you
specify an enum value to override the acl contexts default algorithm when doing
a classification. This allows an application to specify a classification
algorithm without needing to publicize each method. I know there was concern
over keeping those methods public, but we don't have a static ABI at the moment,
so this seems to me a reasonable thing to do, as it gives us less of an ABI
surface to worry about.
- keep common code shared between these two codepaths.

The function rte_snprintf serves no useful purpose. It is the
same as snprintf() for all valid inputs. Deprecate it and
replace all uses in current code.
Leave the tests for the deprecated function in place.
