8738b68a94 app: simplify makefiles
No need to test some build option multiple times in a Makefile.
Besides, such option is needed by the associated app, so move it at the
top of the Makefile.

6f41fe75e2 eal: deprecate rte_snprintf
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.

48f31ca50c app/pipeline: packet framework benchmark
This application is purposefully built to benchmark the performance
of the Intel DPDK Packet Framework toolbox.

It uses 3 CPU cores connected in a chain through SW rings
(NICs --> Core A --> Core B --> Core C --> NICs)
1. Core A: reads packets from NIC ports and writes them to SW queues;
2. Core B: instantiates a Packet Framework pipeline that uses ring reader
   input ports, a table whose type is selected trhough command line arguments
   (--none, --stub, --lpm, --acl, --hash[-spec]-KEYSZ-TYPE, with KEYSZ as
   8, 16 or 32 bytes and TYPE as ext (Extendible bucket) or lru (LRU))
   and ring writers output ports;
3. Core C: reads packets from SW rings and writes them to NIC ports.
