When we allocate and use DPDK memory, we need to be able to

a property to memseg lists.

This breaks the ABI, so bump the EAL library ABI version and
document the change in release notes. This also breaks a few
internal assumptions about memory contiguousness, so adjust
malloc code in a few places.

All current calls for memseg walk functions were adjusted to
ignore external segments where it made sense.

Mempools is a special case, because we may be asked to allocate
a mempool on a specific socket, and we need to ignore all page
sizes on other heaps or other sockets. Previously, this
assumption of knowing all page sizes was not a problem, but it
will be now, so we have to match socket ID with page size when
calculating minimum page size for a mempool.
