[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal: abstract away the auxiliary vector

Rather than attempting to load the contents of the auxv directly,
prefer to use an exposed API - and if that doesn't exist then attempt
to load the vector. This is because on some systems, when a user
is downgraded, the /proc/self/auxv file retains the old ownership
and permissions. The original method of /proc/self/auxv is retained.
This also removes a potential abort() in the code when compiled with
NDEBUG. A quick parse of the code shows that many (if not all) of
the CPU flag parsing isn't used internally, so it should be okay.

NOTE: These APIs aren't added to the map because I really want
them to be internal-only. No other component really needs
access to them. I couldn't find a good common internal
include file which is why they're in the rte_cpuflags.h -
but if there's a better one, we can spin another version.
