The topic of this patchset is to add a new rte_kvargs library that can be used as a helper to parse key/value arguments. The code will be based on rte_eth_pcap_arg_parser and reworked with documentation and tests. It also fix some minor issues of the original code.
These commits will allow another library (like pmd_ring) to parse arguments in an easier way without duplicating the code.
