[PATCH v5 00/39] use C11 alignas

[Tyler Retzlaff]

The current location used for __rte_aligned(a) for alignment of types
and variables is not compatible with MSVC. There is only a single
location accepted by both toolchains.

For variables standard C11 offers alignas(a) supported by conformant
compilers i.e. both MSVC and GCC.

For types the standard offers no alignment facility that compatibly
interoperates with C and C++ but may be achieved by relocating the
placement of __rte_aligned(a) to the aforementioned location accepted
by all currently supported toolchains.

** NOTE **

Finally, In the interest of not creating more API (internal or not) the
series does not introduce a wrapper for C11 alignas. If we don't introduce
a macro an application can't take a dependency.

v5:
  * rebase series.
  * reword all commit messages with why the change is necessary.
  * document guidance for the usage of __rte_aligned macro indicating
    that it should be used for type alignment only and advising that for
    variable alignment standard C11 alignas(a) should be preferred.

v4:
  * restore explicit alignment of 8-byte integers in mbuf and
    ring patches, natural alignment may be 4-bytes on 32-bit
    targets.
v3:
  * add missing patches for __rte_cache_aligned and
    __rte_cache_min_aligned
v2:
  * add missing #include <stdalign.h> for alignas macro.
