This patch creates a new subdirectory 'core' which contains DPDK core libraries. The goal is to generate a librte_core library that contains all libraries under the core subdirectory. For that purpose, a synthetic library librte_core is created. When building the DPDK, all object files from core libraries would be moved to the build directory of librte_core. When building librte_core, the build system will link/archive all objects found in the directory.
