I am for introducing a handful(Not the completed list, Only add what
is needed for DPDK) of PCI constants as RTE_PCI_ in our public API.
And implement rte_pci_find_next_ext_capability() as common routine as
it is not specific to Linux.(I.e reading the config registers should
be only Linux/Windows-specific)

I leave the final decision to PCI and other maintainers.
