Currently there are some public headers that include 'sys/queue.h', which
is not POSIX, but usually provided by the Linux/BSD system library.
(Not in POSIX.1, POSIX.1-2001, or POSIX.1-2008. Present on the BSDs.)
The file is missing on Windows. During the Windows build, DPDK uses a
bundled copy, so building a DPDK library works fine. But when OVS or other
applications use DPDK as a library, because some DPDK public headers
include 'sys/queue.h', on Windows, it triggers an error due to no such
file.
One solution is to install the 'lib/eal/windows/include/sys/queue.h' into
Windows environment, such as [1]. However, this means DPDK exports the
functionalities of 'sys/queue.h' into the environment, which might cause
symbols, macros, headers clashing with other applications.
The patch fixes it by removing the "#include <sys/queue.h>" from
DPDK public headers, so programs including DPDK headers don't depend
on the system to provide 'sys/queue.h'. When these public headers use
macros such as TAILQ_xxx, we replace it by the ones with RTE_ prefix.
For Windows, we copy the definitions from <sys/queue.h> to rte_os.h
in Windows EAL. Note that these RTE_ macros are compatible with
<sys/queue.h>, both at the level of API (to use with <sys/queue.h>
macros in C files) and ABI (to avoid breaking it).
Additionally, the TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE is not part of <sys/queue.h>,
the patch replaces it with RTE_TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE.

New API for these were added in 20.11 and the old API was retained
but marked deprecated. Since 21.11 is the next LTS, it is time
to remove the deprecated ones.

There is no reason for the DPDK libraries to all have 'librte_' prefix on
the directory names. This prefix makes the directory names longer and also
makes it awkward to add features referring to individual libraries in the
build - should the lib names be specified with or without the prefix.
Therefore, we can just remove the library prefix and use the library's
unique name as the directory name, i.e. 'eal' rather than 'librte_eal'
