[PATCH 1/2] lib/hash: initialize __m128i data type in a portable way

[Andre Muezerie]

The mechanism used to initialize an __m128i data type in rte_thash.h is
non-portable and MSVC does not like it. It clearly is not doing what
is desired:

..\lib\hash\rte_thash.h(38): warning C4305: 'initializing':
    truncation from 'unsigned __int64' to 'char'
..\lib\hash\rte_thash.h(38): warning C4305: 'initializing':
    truncation from 'unsigned __int64' to 'char'

A more portable approach is to use compiler intrinsics to perform the
initialization. This patch uses a single compiler intrinsic to
initialize the data type using a sequence of 16 bytes stored in
memory.

There should be no perf degradation due to this change.

[PATCH 2/2] app/test: add test_init_m128i using compiler intrinsic

[Andre Muezerie]

This test initializes an __m128i data type using the old
non-portable way used until now and the more portable way
using compiler intrinsics. The test ensures the resulting
values after initialization match.
