Bruce Richardson 99a2dd955f lib: remove librte_ prefix from directory names
There is no reason for the DPDK libraries to all have 'librte_' prefix on
the directory names. This prefix makes the directory names longer and also
makes it awkward to add features referring to individual libraries in the
build - should the lib names be specified with or without the prefix.
Therefore, we can just remove the library prefix and use the library's
unique name as the directory name, i.e. 'eal' rather than 'librte_eal'

/**

RTE Timer
*
* This library provides a timer service to RTE Data Plane execution
* units that allows the execution of callback functions asynchronously.
*
* - Timers can be periodic or single (one-shot).
* - The timers can be loaded from one core and executed on another. This has
* to be specified in the call to rte_timer_reset().
* - High precision is possible. NOTE: this depends on the call frequency to
* rte_timer_manage() that check the timer expiration for the local core.
* - If not used in an application, for improved performance, it can be
* disabled at compilation time by not calling the rte_timer_manage()
* to improve performance.
*
* The timer library uses the rte_get_hpet_cycles() function that
* uses the HPET, when available, to provide a reliable time reference. [HPET
* routines are provided by EAL, which falls back to using the chip TSC (time-
* stamp counter) as fallback when HPET is not available]
*
* This library provides an interface to add, delete and restart a
* timer. The API is based on the BSD callout(9) API with a few
* differences.
*
* See the RTE architecture documentation for more information about the
* design of this library.
