lib: 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.

lib: move alignment attribute on types for MSVC

The current location used for __rte_aligned(a) for alignment of types
is not compatible with MSVC. There is only a single location accepted
by both toolchains.

The standard offers no alignment facility that compatibly interoperates
with C and C++ but it may be achieved by relocating the placement of
__rte_aligned(a) to the aforementioned location accepted by all currently
supported toolchains.

To allow alignment for both compilers, do the following:

* Expand __rte_aligned(a) to __declspec(align(a)) when building
with MSVC.

* Move __rte_aligned from the end of {struct,union} definitions to
be between {struct,union} and tag.

The placement between {struct,union} and the tag allows the desired
alignment to be imparted on the type regardless of the toolchain being
used for all of GCC, LLVM, MSVC compilers building both C and C++.

Note: this move has an additional benefit as Doxygen is not confused
anymore like for the rte_event_vector struct definition.

net: mark all big endian types

Some protocols (ARP, MPLS and HIGIG2) were using uint16_t and uint32_t
types for their 16 and 32-bit fields.
It was correct but not conveying the big endian nature of these fields.

As for other protocols defined in this directory,
all types are explicitly marked as big endian fields.

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'
