Add support for TLS functionality in EAL.
The following functions are added:
rte_thread_tls_key_create - create a TLS data key.
rte_thread_tls_key_delete - delete a TLS data key.
rte_thread_tls_value_set - set value bound to the TLS key
rte_thread_tls_value_get - get value bound to the TLS key
TLS key is defined by the new type rte_tls_key.
The API allocates the thread local storage (TLS) key.
Any thread of the process can subsequently use this key
to store and retrieve values that are local to the thread.
Those functions are added in addition to TLS capability
in rte_per_lcore.h to allow abstraction of the pthread
layer for all operating systems.
Windows implementation is under librte_eal/windows and
implemented using WIN32 API for Windows only.
Unix implementation is under librte_eal/unix and
implemented using pthread for UNIX compilation.

EAL common timer doesn't compile under Windows.
Compilation log:
error LNK2019:
unresolved external symbol nanosleep referenced in function
rte_delay_us_sleep
error LNK2019:
unresolved external symbol get_tsc_freq referenced in function set_tsc_freq
error LNK2019:
unresolved external symbol sleep referenced in function set_tsc_freq
The reason was that some functions called POSIX functions.
The solution was to move POSIX dependent functions from common to Unix.

Introduce OS-independent wrappers for memory management operations used
across DPDK and specifically in common code of EAL:
* rte_mem_map()
* rte_mem_unmap()
* rte_mem_page_size()
* rte_mem_lock()
Windows uses different APIs for memory mapping and reservation, while
Unices reserve memory by mapping it. Introduce EAL private functions to
support memory reservation in common code:
* eal_mem_reserve()
* eal_mem_free()
* eal_mem_set_dump()
Wrappers follow POSIX semantics limited to DPDK tasks, but their
signatures deliberately differ from POSIX ones to be more safe and
expressive. New symbols are internal. Being thin wrappers, they require
no special maintenance.

Introduce OS-independent wrappers in order to support common EAL code
on Unix and Windows:
* eal_file_open: open or create a file.
* eal_file_lock: lock or unlock an open file.
* eal_file_truncate: enforce a given size for an open file.
Implementation for Linux and FreeBSD is placed in "unix" subdirectory,
which is intended for common code between the two. These thin wrappers
require no special maintenance.
Common code supporting multi-process doesn't use the new wrappers,
because it is inherently Unix-specific and would impose excessive
requirements on the wrappers.
