drivers: replace packed attributes

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC. Replace macro
__rte_packed with __rte_packed_begin to push existing pack value
and set packing to 1-byte and macro __rte_packed_end to restore
the pack value prior to the push.

Macro __rte_packed_end is deliberately utilized to trigger a
MSVC compiler warning if no existing packing has been pushed allowing
easy identification of locations where the __rte_packed_begin is
missing.

drivers: move alignment attribute on types for MSVC

Move location of __rte_aligned(a) to new conventional location. The new
placement between {struct,union} and the tag allows the desired
alignment to be imparted on the type regardless of the toolchain being
used for both C and C++. Additionally, it avoids confusion by Doxygen
when generating documentation.

net/memif: optimize with one-way barrier

Using 'rte_mb' to synchronize the shared ring head/tail between producer
and consumer will stall the pipeline and damage performance on the weak
memory model platforms, such like aarch64. Meanwhile update the shared
ring head and tail are observable and ordered between CPUs on IA.

Optimized this full barrier with the one-way barrier can improve the
throughput. On aarch64 n1sdp server this patch make testpmd throughput
boost 2.1%. On Intel E5-2640, testpmd got 3.98% performance gain.

net/memif: introduce memory interface PMD

Shared memory packet interface (memif) PMD allows for DPDK and any other
client using memif (DPDK, VPP, libmemif) to communicate using shared
memory. The created device transmits packets in a raw format. It can be
used with Ethernet mode, IP mode, or Punt/Inject. At this moment, only
Ethernet mode is supported in DPDK memif implementation. Memif is Linux
only.
