[PATCH 00/16] remove use of VLAs for Windows built code

[Tyler Retzlaff <roretzla@linux.microsoft.com>]

As per guidance technical board meeting 2024/04/17. This series
removes the use of VLAs from code built for Windows for all 3
toolchains. If there are additional opportunities to convert VLAs
to regular C arrays please provide the details for incorporation
into the series.

MSVC does not support VLAs, replace VLAs with standard C arrays
or alloca(). alloca() is available for all toolchain/platform
combinations officially supported by DPDK.
