  Running in non-legacy mode on a NUMA-enabled system without libnuma
is unsupported, so explicitly print out a warning when trying to
do so.

Running in legacy mode without libnuma is still supported whether or
not we are running with libnuma support enabled, so also fix init to
allow that scenario.

Notes:
    v2:
    - Removed unneeded eal_options include that broke the compile

There is another error when building build-arm64-host-clang:

../lib/librte_eal/linux/eal/eal_memory.c: In function 'rte_eal_memseg_init':
../lib/librte_eal/linux/eal/eal_memory.c:2437:40: error: expected ')' before 'OPT_LEGACY_MEM'
   RTE_LOG(WARNING, EAL, "Please use --"OPT_LEGACY_MEM" option, or recompile with NUMA support.\n");
                                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
