This patch only includes the basic framework for batching and the
ability to batch one type of command, copy. Follow-on patches will
add the ability to batch other commands and include an example of
how to do so via the accel perf tool. SW engine support for batching
will also come in a future patch. Documentation will also be coming.
Batching allows the application to submit a list of independent
descriptors to DSA with one single "batch" descriptor. This is beneficial
when the application is in a position to have several operations ready
at once; batching saves the overhead of submitting each one separately.
The way batching works in SPDK is as follows:
1) The app gets a handle to a new batch with spdk_accel_batch_create()
2) The app uses that handle to prepare a command to be included in the
batch. For copy the command is spdk_accel_batch_prep_copy(). The
app many continue to prep commands for the batch up to the max via
calling spdk_accel_batch_get_max()
3) The app then submits the batch with spdk_accel_batch_submit()
4) The callback provided for each command in the batch will be called as
they complete, the callback provided to the batch submit itself will be
called then the entire batch is done.

While we are here, give the library an so suffix
which was missed when the library was initially
created.
