[PATCH] mem: share legacy and single file segments mode with secondaries

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

Currently, command-line switches for legacy mem mode or single-file
segments mode are only stored in internal config. This leads to a
situation where these flags have to always match between primary
and secondary, which is bad for usability.

Fix this by storing these flags in the shared config as well, so
that secondary process can know if the primary was launched in
single-file segments or legacy mem mode.

This bumps the EAL ABI, however there's an EAL deprecation notice
already in place[1] for a different feature, so that's OK.
