use C linkage where appropriate in headers

Assure that 'extern "C" { /../ }' do not cover files included from a
particular header file, and address minor issues resulting from this
change of order.

Dealing with C++ should delegate to the individual include file level,
rather than being imposed by the user of that file. For example,
forcing C linkage prevents __Generic macros being replaced with
overloaded static inline functions in C++ translation units.

Eliminate 'extern "C"' from files which do not declare any symbols
(e.g., only macros or struct types).

On the other hand, the headers check is too naive in assuming that all
headers must contain a 'extern "C"'. Such a check was added in commit
1ee492bdc4ff ("buildtools/chkincs: check missing C++ guards").
Since this current change results in many headers not containing such
a token, remove the check for 'extern "C"' until we have a better
implementation.

cleanup compat header inclusions

With symbols going though experimental/stable stages, we accumulated
a lot of discrepancies about inclusion of the rte_compat.h header.

Some headers are including it where unneeded, while others rely on
implicit inclusion.

Fix unneeded inclusions:
$ git grep -l include..rte_compat.h |
xargs grep -LE '__rte_(internal|experimental)' |
xargs sed -i -e '/#include..rte_compat.h/d'

Fix missing inclusion, by inserting rte_compat.h before the first
inclusion of a DPDK header:
$ git grep -lE '__rte_(internal|experimental)' |
xargs grep -L include..rte_compat.h |
xargs sed -i -e \
'0,/#include..\(rte_\|.*pmd.h.$\)/{
s/\(#include..\(rte_\|.*pmd.h.$\)\)/#include <rte_compat.h>\n\1/
}'

Fix missing inclusion, by inserting rte_compat.h after the last
inclusion of a non DPDK header:
$ for file in $(git grep -lE '__rte_(internal|experimental)' |
xargs grep -L include..rte_compat.h); do
tac $file > $file.$$
sed -i -e \
'0,/#include../{
s/\(#include..*$\)/#include <rte_compat.h>\n\n\1/
}' $file.$$
tac $file.$$ > $file
rm $file.$$
done

Fix missing inclusion, by inserting rte_compat.h after the header guard:
$ git grep -lE '__rte_(internal|experimental)' |
xargs grep -L include..rte_compat.h |
xargs sed -i -e \
'0,/#define/{
s/\(#define .*$\)/\1\n\n#include <rte_compat.h>/
}'

And finally, exclude rte_compat.h itself.
$ git checkout lib/eal/include/rte_compat.h

At the end of all this, we have a clean tree:
$ git grep -lE '__rte_(internal|experimental)' |
xargs grep -L include..rte_compat.h

devtools/checkpatches.sh

lib: remove librte_ prefix from directory names

There is no reason for the DPDK libraries to all have 'librte_' prefix on
the directory names. This prefix makes the directory names longer and also
makes it awkward to add features referring to individual libraries in the
build - should the lib names be specified with or without the prefix.
Therefore, we can just remove the library prefix and use the library's
unique name as the directory name, i.e. 'eal' rather than 'librte_eal'
