[PATCH v4 01/31] eal: add more min/max helpers

From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen at networkplumber.org>

Add RTE_MIN3() to handle case of RTE_MIN(RTE_MIN(...)), and similarly
add RTE_MAX3(). Change name of local temporary variables in existing
macros to allow for combinations of RTE_MIN(RTE_MAX(...)) without
causing shadow declaration warnings.
