v3 changes:

* Made spinlock as fall back behavior when developer choose to use multi-writer
  behavior while HTM is not available.
* Created a rte_cuckoo_hash_x86.h file to hold all x86-specific related
  cuckoo_hash functions. And rte_cuckoo_hash.c uses compile time flag to
  select x86 file or other platform-specific implementations. While HTM check
  is still done at runtime (same with RTE_HASH_EXTRA_FLAGS_TRANS_MEM_SUPPORT)
* Moved rte_hash private struct definitions to rte_cuckoo_hash.h, to allow
  rte_cuckoo_hash_x86.h or future platform dependent functions to include.
* Following renaming for consistent names when new platform TM support are
  added.
  - rte_hash_cuckoo_insert_mw_tm for trying insertion without moving buckets
   around.
  - rte_hash_cuckoo_move_insert_mw_tm for trying insertion by moving buckets
   around.

v2 changes:

* Address issues pointed out by reviews on mailing list.
* Removed the RTE_HASH_KEY_FLAG_MOVED flag used in v1, which would cause
  problem when key deletion happens.
