Found this while exploring running a DPDK service with systemd
container environment. It helps if the place DPDK puts its runtime
directory is configurable.

v2 - fix dpdk_telemetry.py to use append dpdk

  eal: remove size for eal_set_runtime_dir

Bruce is it worth moving this (and the sysfs logic) from
Linux only into unix/ directory and have common code with FreeBSD?

The "create_runtime_dir()" function is indeed a copy-paste between the two
OS's so looks like it should be moved into a common unix implementation.
