26e09db6cb app/test: rework command registration
The tests are registered with their command name by adding a structure
to a list. The structure of each test was declared in each test file
and passed to the register macro.
This rework generate the structure inside the register macro.

ba560ac30c eal: move CPU flag functions out of headers
The patch c344eab3ee has moved the hardware definition of CPU flags.
Now the functions checking these hardware flags are also moved.
The function rte_cpu_get_flag_enabled() is no more inline.

The benefits are:
- remove rte_cpu_feature_table from the ABI (recently added)
- hide hardware details from the API
- allow to adapt structures per arch (done in next patch)

5915699153 hash: fix scaling by reducing contention
If using multiple cores on a system with hardware transactional
memory support, thread scaling does not work, as there was a single
point in the hash library which is a bottleneck for all threads,
which is the "free_slots" ring, which stores all the indices of
the free slots in the table.

This patch fixes the problem, by creating a local cache per logical core,
which stores locally indices of free slots,
so most times, writer threads will not interfere each other.

24b4bb8123 hash: rename unused field
The cuckoo hash has a fixed number of entries per bucket, so the
configuration parameter for this is unused. We change this field in the
parameters struct to "reserved" to indicate that there is now no such
parameter value, while at the same time keeping ABI consistency.

960e8a22fc app/test: add hash scalability test using HTM lock elision
This patch adds a new auto-test for testing the scaling
of concurrent inserts into rte_hash when protected by
the normal spinlock vs. the spinlock with HTM lock
elision. The test also benchmarks single-threaded
access without any locks.
