eal: replace lcore direct use of pthread in the EAL

  * Replace the use of pthread_t in struct lcore_config with the EAL
  rte_thread_t type.

* Replace the direct use of pthread_create(), pthread_self()
  pthread_getaffinity_np() and pthread_setaffinity_np().

Minor tweaks to return value comparisons to align with current DPDK
style.

hey folks,

any feedback here? incremental progress untangling pthread out of eal.

thanks!
