[dpdk-dev] eal: deprecate rte_cpu_check_supported

  It's likely that this function isn't used anywhere, but since it was part of
the public API, mark the function for deprecation for at least one release.

This include should be added in rte_cpuflags.h.
There are other C files which could need rte_common.h,
example: test/test/test_cpuflags.c

The deprecated flag must be moved before the function declaration.
Otherwise clangs throws an error.

Should not it be a separate patch?

Thanks so much for the review!  I'll make sure to fix these with v2.

I thought it made sense to keep it rolled in with this patch, but if you
prefer it separate, I will do that.  Expect it as 1/2 in v2, unless you
say otherwise.
