This patchset fixes performance/cache resource issues with 128-byte cache line targets
found in mbuf and bitmap DPDK libraries

Currently, we have two DPDK targets(ThunderX and ppc_64) which are based on
128-bytes cache line size target.

This patchset doesn't introduce any performance degradation
for 64-bytes cache line size targets.

v1..v2
- Introduced new cache macro definitions as Suggested by Konstantin
- Reduced the cache alignment requirement for 128-byte cache targets in
slow-path data structures to save the memory
- Verified x86(a 64byte cacheline target) does not have any impact on these changes by
verifying the md5sum of app/test,app/testpmd, app/testacl binaries with
or without this patch set

v2..v3

revert the cache alignment of rte_ring_debug_stats,
rte_mempool_debug_stats structures

v3..v4
replaced RTE_CACHE_MIN_LINE_SIZE with RTE_CACHE_LINE_MIN_SIZE as suggested by
olivier.matz@6wind.com

For clean git am, "config: cleanup existing RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE selection scheme"
patch needs to apply first
