Add support for tls functionality in EAL.

The following functions are added:
rte_thread_tls_create_key - function to create a tls data key.
rte_thread_tls_delete_key - function to delete a tls data key.
rte_thread_tls_set_value - function to set value bound to the tls key
rte_thread_tls_get_value - function to get value bound to the tls key

tls key will be defined by the new type rte_tls_key

Windows implementation is under librte_eal/windows and
implemented using WIN32 API for Windows only.

common implementation is under librte_eal/common and
implemented using pthread for UNIX and Windows compilation
using extenral pthread libraries, when supported.
