Up to this commit the regex application was running with multiple QPs on
a single core. This commit adds the option to specify a number of cores
on which multiple QPs will run.
A new parameter 'nb_lcores' was added to configure the number of cores:
--nb_lcores <num of cores>.
If not configured the number of cores is set to 1 by default. On
application startup a few initial steps occur by the main core: the
number of QPs and cores are parsed. The QPs are distributed as evenly
as possible on the cores. The regex device and all QPs are initialized.
The data file is read and saved in a buffer. Then for each core the
application calls rte_eal_remote_launch() with the worker routine
(run_regex) as its parameter.
