[PATCH] treewide: improve strict-aliasing

Grout is built with -Wstrict-aliasing=2, which requires
type casting to the generic "void *", like this:
struct conn *conn;
// create a new connection object
if (rte_mempool_get(conn_pool, (void *)&conn) < 0)
return NULL;
Change to -Wstrict-aliasing=3, so we can use more accurate
type casting, like this:
struct conn *conn;
// create a new connection object
if (rte_mempool_get(conn_pool, (void **)&conn) < 0)
return NULL;
Grout currently compiles just fine with -Wstrict-aliasing=3.
For reference, rte_mempool_get is declared as:
static __rte_always_inline int
rte_mempool_get(struct rte_mempool *mp, void **obj_p);
