[PATCH 0/3] argparse additions and rework

[Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>]

This patchset is based off the work to adjust how we do argument parsing
inside EAL. To enable argparse to be effectively used for EAL, we have
new features and some changes in the first two patches, which are 
relatively small - though are ABI/API affecting.

These add support for saving off strings and boolean values, have argparse
stop parsing at a "--", and finally have argparse return the number of
arguments actually parsed on success.

The third patch is a bigger change. It was inspired by the fact that
when adding the boolean and string support we had to update some
"MAX" value defines used in the code. This is obviously not good from
an ABI/API perspective, once the library becomes part of the stable ABI.
In order to remove these MAX values, patch 3 looks to replace the
#define values with enums - which means some rework splitting the
various flags into separate categories, and similarly splitting the
single "flags" field with separate fields specifying if an argument
value is required, what type that value should have, and then a
final smaller field for any additional modifiers.

Bruce Richardson (3):
  argparse: add support for string and boolean args
  argparse: make argparse EAL-args compatible
  argparse: use enums to remove max-value defines in lists
