This commit adds support for lock-free (linked list based) stack mempool
handler.
In mempool_perf_autotest the lock-based stack outperforms the
lock-free handler for certain lcore/alloc count/free count
combinations*, however:
- For applications with preemptible pthreads, a standard (lock-based)
stack's worst-case performance (i.e. one thread being preempted while
holding the spinlock) is much worse than the lock-free stack's.
- Using per-thread mempool caches will largely mitigate the performance
difference.
*Test setup: x86_64 build with default config, dual-socket Xeon E5-2699 v4,
running on isolcpus cores with a tickless scheduler. The lock-based stack's
rate_persec was 0.6x-3.5x the lock-free stack's.

The new rte_stack library is derived from the mempool handler, so this
commit removes duplicated code and simplifies the handler by migrating it
to this new API.

The list of libraries in LDLIBS was generated from the DEPDIRS-xyz
variable. This is valid when the subdirectory name match the library
name, but it's not always the case, especially for PMDs.
The patches removes this feature and explicitly adds the proper
libraries in LDLIBS.
Some DEPDIRS-xyz variables become useless, remove them.

NXP Copyright has been wrongly worded with '(c)' at various places.
This patch removes these extra characters. It also removes
"All rights reserved".
Only NXP copyright syntax is changed. Freescale copyright is not
modified.

Moved from lib/librte_mempool, stack mempool handler is an independent
driver.
Shared builds would now require to link in librte_mempool_stack for
"stack" mempool handler.
