  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.

v3: switch from pthread shim to generic eal implementation [DmitryK]
v4: modify file names, function names, move unix code to common
for future external pthreads support [DmitryK]
v5: rename var used for external pthreads, add description in
meson_options.txt. [DmitryK]
v6: remove external_pthread support as it collide with pthread
shim implementation [DmitryK]
v7: move unix code to unix instead of common, rename functions
add more documentation [Thomas]

Should be sizeof(**key), which would be sizeof(struct eal_tls_key), as needed.
Same for Windows file.
I had to double-check my comment on v7.

Thanks, missed this one as well, sending v9.
