[PATCH v14 07/17] eal: use C library to parse filesystem table

Replace open-coded string parsing of /proc/mounts with the
standard getmntent(3) routines available on Linux and BSD.
When hugepage_dir is explicitly specified, use statfs() to
validate the mount directly rather than scanning /proc/mounts.
Using the C library handles edge cases like escaped strings
in mount paths automatically.
