[PATCH v7 02/29] eal/include: add new packing macros

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

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC. Add macro
__rte_packed_begin which can be used to push existing pack value
and set packing to 1-byte. Add macro __rte_packed_end to restore
the pack value prior to the push.

Macro __rte_packed_end is deliberately utilized to trigger a
MSVC compiler warning if no existing packing has been pushed allowing
easy identification of locations where the __rte_packed_begin is
missing.

Macro __rte_packed was marked as deprecated.
