Adds the new rte_mempool_create_ext api and callback mechanism for
external mempool handlers

Modifies the existing rte_mempool_create to set up the handler_idx to
the relevant mempool handler based on the handler name:
    ring_sp_sc
    ring_mp_mc
    ring_sp_mc
    ring_mp_sc

v2: merges the duplicated code in rte_mempool_xmem_create and
rte_mempool_create_ext into one common function. The old functions
now call the new common function with the relevant parameters.

+/**
+ * Create a new mempool named *name* in memory.
+ *
+ * This function uses an externally defined alloc callback to allocate memory.
+ * Its size is set to n elements.
+ * All elements of the mempool are allocated separately to the mempool header.
+ *
+ * @param name
+ *   The name of the mempool.
+ * @param n
+ *   The number of elements in the mempool. The optimum size (in terms of
+ *   memory usage) for a mempool is when n is a power of two minus one:
+ *   n = (2^q - 1).
+ * @param cache_size
+ *   If cache_size is non-zero, the rte_mempool library will try to
+ *   limit the accesses to the common lockless pool, by maintaining a
+ *   per-lcore object cache. This argument must be lower or equal to
+ *   CONFIG_RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE and n / 1.5. It is advised to choose
+ *   cache_size to have "n modulo cache_size == 0": if this is
+ *   not the case, some elements will always stay in the pool and will
+ *   never be used. The access to the per-lcore table is of course
+ *   faster than the multi-producer/consumer pool. The cache can be
+ *   disabled if the cache_size argument is set to 0; it can be useful to
+ *   avoid losing objects in cache. Note that even if not used, the
+ *   memory space for cache is always reserved in a mempool structure,
+ *   except if CONFIG_RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE is set to 0.
+ * @param private_data_size
+ *   The size of the private data appended after the mempool
+ *   structure. This is useful for storing some private data after the
+ *   mempool structure, as is done for rte_mbuf_pool for example.
+ * @param mp_init
+ *   A function pointer that is called for initialization of the pool,
+ *   before object initialization. The user can initialize the private
+ *   data in this function if needed. This parameter can be NULL if
+ *   not needed.
+ * @param mp_init_arg
+ *   An opaque pointer to data that can be used in the mempool
+ *   constructor function.
+ * @param obj_init
+ *   A function pointer that is called for each object at
+ *   initialization of the pool. The user can set some meta data in
+ *   objects if needed. This parameter can be NULL if not needed.
+ *   The obj_init() function takes the mempool pointer, the init_arg,
+ *   the object pointer and the object number as parameters.
+ * @param obj_init_arg
+ *   An opaque pointer to data that can be used as an argument for
+ *   each call to the object constructor function.
+ * @param socket_id
+ *   The *socket_id* argument is the socket identifier in the case of
+ *   NUMA. The value can be *SOCKET_ID_ANY* if there is no NUMA
+ *   constraint for the reserved zone.
+ * @param flags
+ * @return
+ *   The pointer to the new allocated mempool, on success. NULL on error
+ */
