[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] examples/l3fwd: report error when no vector engine is available

If no SSE nor NEON are available the l3fwd should complain loudly to quickly
find out the reason.

It has happened to me once when I've accidently built a GCC without the NEON
support. It was confusing as at first I thought it is a bug... It is not,
there is just missing an error message telling the reason.
