[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 18.05 v4] Add function to return number of detected sockets

[Anatoly Burakov <anatoly.burakov@intel.com>]

This patch is for 18.05 and implements changes referenced
in the deprecation notice[1]. (not yet merged as of this
writing)

This patchset breaks the EAL ABI and bumps its version. This
is arguably OK as memory changes will change a lot in EAL and
thus likely break ABI anyway. However, two other alternative
implementations are possible:

1) local static variable recording number of detected
   sockets. This is arguably less clean approach, but will not
   break the ABI and will have relatively little impact on the
   codebase.

2) keeping ABI compatibility, as shown in v3 of this patch [2].

My preference would be to keep this one.
