Currently, the timer library uses a per-process table of structures to
manage skiplists of timers presumably because timers contain arbitrary
function pointers whose value may not resolve properly in other
processes.
However, if the same callback is used handle all timers, and that
callback is only invoked in one process, then it woud be safe to allow
the data structures to be allocated in shared memory, and to allow
secondary processes to modify the timer lists. This would let timers be
used in more multi-process scenarios.
The library's global variables are wrapped with a struct, and an array
of these structures is created in shared memory. The original APIs
are updated to reference the zeroth entry in the array. This maintains
the original behavior for both primary and secondary processes since
the set intersection of their coremasks should be empty [1]. New APIs
are introduced to enable the allocation/deallocation of other entries
in the array.
New variants of the APIs used to start and stop timers are introduced;
they allow a caller to specify which array entry should be used to
locate the timer list to insert into or delete from.
Finally, a new variant of rte_timer_manage() is introduced, which
allows a caller to specify which array entry should be used to locate
the timer lists to process; it can also process multiple timer lists per
invocation.

The list of libraries in LDLIBS was generated from the DEPDIRS-xyz
variable. This is valid when the subdirectory name match the library
name, but it's not always the case, especially for PMDs.
The patches removes this feature and explicitly adds the proper
libraries in LDLIBS.
Some DEPDIRS-xyz variables become useless, remove them.

Before this patch, the management of dependencies between directories
had several issues:
- the generation of .depdirs, done at configuration is slow: it can take
more than one minute on some slow targets (usually ~10s on a standard
PC without -j).
- for instance, it is possible to express a dependency like:
- app/foo depends on lib/librte_foo
- and lib/librte_foo depends on app/bar
But this won't work because the directories are traversed with a
depth-first algorithm, so we have to choose between doing 'app' before
or after 'lib'.
- the script depdirs-rule.sh is too complex.
- we cannot use "make -d" for debug, because the output of make is used for
the generation of .depdirs.
This patch moves the DEPDIRS-* variables in the upper Makefile, making
the dependencies much easier to calculate. A DEPDIRS variable is still
used to process library dependencies in LDLIBS.
After this commit, "make config" is almost immediate.

To differentiate libraries that break ABI, we add a library version number
suffix to the library, which must be incremented when a given libraries ABI is
broken. This patch enforces that addition, sets the initial abi soname
extension to 1 for each library and creates a symlink to the base SONAME so that
the test applications will link properly.

This commit removes trailing whitespace from lines in files. Almost all
files are affected, as the BSD license copyright header had trailing
whitespace on 4 lines in it [hence the number of files reporting 8 lines
changed in the diffstat].
