[ upstream commit 16afcbfa30e9c2831264fb349457a4228fa687c8 ]

The hard-coded thread priority for Windows threads in EAL
is REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS/THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL.

This results in issues with DPDK threads causing OS thread starvation
and eventually a bugcheck.

The fix reduce the thread priority to
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS/THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL.

Bugzilla ID: 600
