[v2,00/19] remove use of VLAs for Windows

As per guidance technical board meeting 2024/04/17. This series
removes the use of VLAs from code built for Windows for all 3
toolchains. If there are additional opportunities to convert VLAs
to regular C arrays please provide the details for incorporation
into the series.

MSVC does not support VLAs, replace VLAs with standard C arrays
or alloca(). alloca() is available for all toolchain/platform
combinations officially supported by DPDK.

v2:
 * replace patches for ethdev, hash, rcu and include new
   patches for eal from Konstantin Ananyev
   from https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=31781
