This is the main switch over between the legacy API and the new
burst API. We rename all the functions in rte_distributor.c to remove
the _v1705, and we add in _v20 in the rte_distributor_v20.c
We also rename the rte_distributor_next.h as rte_distributor.h, as
this is now the public header.
At the same time, we need the autotests and sample app to compile
properly, hence those changes are in this patch also.

Move files out of the way so that we can replace with new
versions of the distributor library. Files are named in
such a way as to match the symbol versioning that we will
apply for backward ABI compatibility.

The distributor header file includes the mbuf header file, but it does not
need to do so as it only uses pointers to the struct rte_mbuf type, and
does not use any of the mbuf internals, nor any of the mbuf functions or
macros. Therefore the inclusion is unnecessary, and can be replaced by a
forward declaration of the mbuf type.

With introduction of in_flight_bitmask, the whole 32 bits of tag can be
used. Further more, this patch fixed the integer overflow when finding
the matched tags.
The maximum number workers is now defined as 64, which is length of
double-word. The link between number of workers and RTE_MAX_LCORE is
now removed. Compile time check is added to ensure the
RTE_DISTRIB_MAX_WORKERS is less than or equal to size of double-word.

Take the existing get_pkt API and split out the parts for requesting a new
packet from the part to poll for arrival of a new packet. These individual
functions can then be used independently of the get function, which still acts
as before.
The split functions for request and poll will allow a worker to pull
packets from multiple distributors, or to act as multiple workers with a
single distributor if needed for better performance.

This adds the code for a new Intel DPDK library for packet distribution.
The distributor is a component which is designed to pass packets
one-at-a-time to workers, with dynamic load balancing. Using the RSS
field in the mbuf as a tag, the distributor tracks what packet tag is
being processed by what worker and then ensures that no two packets with
the same tag are in-flight simultaneously. Once a tag is not in-flight,
then the next packet with that tag will be sent to the next available
core.
