eventdev: add event pre-schedule hint

Add a new eventdev API to provide a hint to the eventdev PMD to
pre-schedule the next event into the event port, without releasing
the current flow context.
Event device that support this feature advertises the capability
using the RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_PRESCHEDULE_EXPLICIT capability flag.

Application can invoke `rte_event_port_preschedule` to hint the PMD,
if event device does not support this feature it is treated as a no-op.

eventdev: add event port pre-schedule modify

Some event devices allow pre-schedule types to be modified at
runtime on an event port.
Add `RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_PER_PORT_PRESCHEDULE` capability
to indicate that the event device supports this feature.

Add `rte_event_port_preschedule_modify()` API to modify the
pre-schedule type at runtime.
To avoid fastpath capability checks, the API reports -ENOTSUP
if the event device does not support this feature.

use C linkage where appropriate in headers

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.

eventdev: introduce link profiles

A collection of event queues linked to an event port can be
associated with a unique identifier called as a link profile, multiple
such profiles can be created based on the event device capability
using the function `rte_event_port_profile_links_set` which takes
arguments similar to `rte_event_port_link` in addition to the profile
identifier.

The maximum link profiles that are supported by an event device
is advertised through the structure member
`rte_event_dev_info::max_profiles_per_port`.
By default, event ports are configured to use the link profile 0
on initialization.

Once multiple link profiles are set up and the event device is started,
the application can use the function `rte_event_port_profile_switch`
to change the currently active profile on an event port. This effects
the next `rte_event_dequeue_burst` call, where the event queues
associated with the newly active link profile will participate in
scheduling.

An unlink function `rte_event_port_profile_unlink` is provided
to modify the links associated to a profile, and
`rte_event_port_profile_links_get` can be used to retrieve the
links associated with a profile.

Using Link profiles can reduce the overhead of linking/unlinking and
waiting for unlinks in progress in fast-path and gives applications
the ability to switch between preset profiles on the fly.

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'
