[PATCH v3 01/10] memarea: introduce memarea library

[Chengwen Feng <fengchengwen@huawei.com>]

The memarea library is an allocator of variable-size object which based
on a memory region.

This patch provides create/destroy API.

+Memarea Library
+===============
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The memarea library provides an allocator of variable-size objects, it is
+oriented towards the application layer, which could provides 'region-based
+memory management' function [1].
+
+The main features are as follows:
+
+* The default aligement size is ``RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE``.
+
+* The memory region can be initialized from the following memory sources:
+  a) RTE memory: e.g. invoke ``rte_malloc_socket`` to obtain. b) System API:
+  e.g. invoke posix_memalign to obtain. c) User provided address: it can be from
+  extendedd memory as long as it is available. d) User provided memarea: it can
+  be from another memarea.
+
+* It provides refcnt feature which could be useful in multi-reader scenario.
+
+* It supports MT-safe as long as it's specified at creation time.
+
+Library API Overview
+--------------------
+
+The ``rte_memarea_create()`` function is used to create a memarea, the function
+returns the pointer to the created memarea or ``NULL`` if the creation failed.
+
+The ``rte_memarea_destroy()`` function is used to destroy a memarea.

+ * RTE Memarea.
+ *
+ * The memarea is an allocator of variable-size object which based on a memory
+ * region. It has the following features:
+ *
+ * - The default alignment size is RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE.
+ * - The memory region can be initialized from the following memory sources:
+ *   1. RTE memory: e.g. invoke rte_malloc_socket to obtain.
+ *   2. System API: e.g. invoke posix_memalign to obtain.
+ *   3. User provided address: it can be from extended memory as long as it is
+ *      available. The address must be aligned to RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE.
+ *   4) User provided memarea: it can be from another memarea. So we can build
+ *      the following memory management structure:
+ *         \code{.unparsed}
