Add support for TLS functionality in EAL.

The following functions are added:
rte_thread_tls_key_create - function to create a TLS data key.
rte_thread_tls_key_delete - function to delete a TLS data key.
rte_thread_tls_value_set - function to set value bound to the TLS key
rte_thread_tls_value_get - function to get value bound to the TLS key
"Function to" is redundant both here and in Doxygen comments.
TLS key will be defined by the new type rte_tls_key.
Please use present tense when describing patch content.
The API Allocates the thread local storage (TLS) key.
Typo: "allocates".
Any thread of the process can subsequently use this key
to store and retrieve values that are local to the thread.

Those functions are added in addition to TLS capability
in rte_per_lcore.h to allow user to use the thread reasouce
destruction capability in rte_thread_tls_key_create.
Err, I assumed we're abstracting pthread, otherwise the capability has
already been there. Also, a typo: "resource".
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 compilation.
librte_eal/unix

Suggesting "TLS key type, an opaque pointer". Now it's unclear if there's a
TLS key and a pointer to it or TLS key is an opaque pointer itself (which is
the case, API-wise).
