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.

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'
