Add option --multi, to enhance the pdump application to allow capture
on unique cores for each --pdump option. If option --multi is ignored
the default capture occurs on a single core for all --pdump options.

Rather than hardcode the usage, reuse the macro you introduced: CMD_LINE_OPT_MULTI.

Idem reuse the macro.

Besides look at lib/librte_eal/common/eal_options.h and lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_options.c.
Define an enum for long only options and map "multi" to an integer that has no printable character associated.

This way, you can avoid (see below)...

getopt_long already matched the input option for you.
