5fc74c2e14 hash: check if slot is empty with key index
Instead of checking if the current and alternative signatures are 0,
it is faster to check if the key index associated to an entry
is 0, meaning that the slot is empty.

be856325cb hash: add scalable multi-writer insertion with Intel TSX
This patch introduced scalable multi-writer Cuckoo Hash insertion
based on a split Cuckoo Search and Move operation using Intel
TSX. It can do scalable hash insertion with 22 cores with little
performance loss and negligible TSX abortion rate.

* Added an extra rte_hash flag definition to switch default single writer
  Cuckoo Hash behavior to multiwriter.
    - If HTM is available, it would use hardware feature for concurrency.
    - If HTM is not available, it would fall back to spinlock.

* Created a rte_cuckoo_hash_x86.h file to hold all x86-arch related
  cuckoo_hash functions. And rte_cuckoo_hash.c uses compile time flag to
  select x86 file or other platform-specific implementations. While HTM check
  is still done at runtime (same idea with
  RTE_HASH_EXTRA_FLAGS_TRANS_MEM_SUPPORT)

* Moved rte_hash private struct definitions to rte_cuckoo_hash.h, to allow
  rte_cuckoo_hash_x86.h or future platform dependent functions to include.

* Following new functions are created for consistent names when new platform
  TM support are added.
    - rte_hash_cuckoo_move_insert_mw_tm: do insertion with bucket movement.
    - rte_hash_cuckoo_insert_mw_tm: do insertion without bucket movement.

* One extra multi-writer test case is added.
