If the command line parsing of rte_flow is something that has some
chances to be shared among multiple applications, I agree it makes sense
to move it in a library.

However, my opinion is that it would be better to have a specific
library for it, like librte_flow_cmdline, because I'm not sure that
people linking with librte_cmdline always want to pull the rte_flow
parsing code.
