Wei Shen 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.
