[PATCHv2] librte_acl make it build/work for 'default' target

[Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.ananyev-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Make ACL library to build/work on 'default' architecture:
- make rte_acl_classify_scalar really scalar
 (make sure it wouldn't use sse4 instrincts through resolve_priority()).
- Provide two versions of rte_acl_classify code path:
  rte_acl_classify_sse() - could be build and used only on systems with sse4.2
  and upper, return -ENOTSUP on lower arch.
  rte_acl_classify_scalar() - a slower version, but could be build and used
  on all systems.
- keep common code shared between these two codepaths.

v2 chages:
 run-time selection of most appropriate code-path for given ISA.
 By default the highest supprted one is selected.
 User can still override that selection by manually assigning new value to 
 the global function pointer rte_acl_default_classify.
 rte_acl_classify() becomes a macro calling whatever rte_acl_default_classify
 points to.
