Anatoly Burakov 56236363b4 eal: add directory for runtime data
Currently, during runtime, DPDK will store a bunch of files here
and there (in /var/run, /tmp or in $HOME). Fix it by creating a
DPDK-specific runtime directory, under which all runtime data
will be placed. The template for creating this runtime directory
is the following:

  <base path>/dpdk/<DPDK prefix>/

Where <base path> is set to either "/var/run" if run as root, or
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR if run as non-root, with a fallback to /tmp if
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined. So, for example, if run as root,
by default all runtime data will be stored at /var/run/dpdk/rte/.

There is no equivalent of "mkdir -p", so we will be creating the
path step by step.

Nothing uses this new path yet, changes for that will come in
next commit.
