Remove rte_ctrl_thread_create API which exposes pthread_t and provide
new rte_control_thread_create API based on EALs rte_thread_t.
To limit compatibility regression risk and ease of removal of the
existing rte_ctrl_thread_create in the future duplicate most of the
existing implementation. The duplication will be removed when
rte_ctrl_thread_create is finally duplicated/removed.
The unit test for rte_ctrl_thread_create has been duplicated to exercise
both the old and the new API during transition, as with the API the
duplicate test will be removed when the rte_ctrl_thread_create API is
removed.
v3:
* use {ctrl,control}_start_routine for start_routine field names
* fix conditional evaluation style p == NULL instead of !p
* tweak documentation comment for rte_control_thread_create
- "the EAL threads are then excluded"
- note RTE_MAX_THREAD_NAME_LEN preprocessor definition
is the name size (including terminating NUL) limit
* add missing cast to uintptr_t
v2:
* correct style error void * (*foo) -> void *(*foo)
* place retval on lhs of comparison 0 != foo() -> foo() != 0
* add missing commit description on patch 3/3
* add cast uintptr_t to pthread_t where appropriate
* fix doxygen @param names to match parameter names
