[v4,0/4] add RegEx class

  This patch set adds the RegEx class, which enables RegEx pattern
matching, both on HW/SW PMDs.

Example for applications that will benefit from this class:
* Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW)
* Deep Packet and Flow Inspection (DPI)
* Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)
* DDoS Mitigation
* Network Monitoring
* Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
* Smart NICs
* Grammar based content processing
* URL, spam and adware filtering
* Advanced auditing and policing of user/application security policies
* Financial data mining - parsing of streamed financial feeds
* Application recognition.
* Dmemory introspection.
* Natural Language Processing (NLP)
* Sentiment Analysis.
* Big data databse acceleration.
* Computational storage. 

This patch set is based on RFC[1]

This class should be merged only after there is at least
one PMD that implements it. Also the test application will
be added when the first PMD is added.

When adding a new library, a lot of files have to be modified:
	- maintainers
	- doxygen index and config
	- doc guide
	- compilation files
	- new test application
	- new example application

The update of MAINTAINERS is missing.
The applications are missing but I think they can be added later.
