[PATCH v11 12/21] app/testpmd: remove use of VLAs for Windows built

[Andre Muezerie <andremue@linux.microsoft.com>]

From: Tyler Retzlaff <roretzla@linux.microsoft.com>

MSVC does not support VLAs, replace VLAs with standard C arrays
or alloca(). alloca() is available for all toolchain/platform
combinations officially supported by DPDK.
