Add support for TLS functionality in EAL. The following functions are added: rte_thread_tls_key_create - create a TLS data key. rte_thread_tls_key_delete - delete a TLS data key. rte_thread_tls_value_set - set value bound to the TLS key rte_thread_tls_value_get - get value bound to the TLS key TLS key is defined by the new type rte_tls_key. The API allocates the thread local storage (TLS) key. Any thread of the process can subsequently use this key to store and retrieve values that are local to the thread. Those functions are added in addition to TLS capability in rte_per_lcore.h to allow abstraction of the pthread layer for all operating systems. Windows implementation is under librte_eal/windows and implemented using WIN32 API for Windows only. Unix implementation is under librte_eal/unix and implemented using pthread for UNIX compilation.
