MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC provide a macro that can be used to push existing pack value and sets packing to 1-byte. The existing __rte_packed macro is then used to restore the pack value prior to the push.
Instead of providing macros exclusively for MSVC and for GCC the existing macro is deliberately utilized to trigger a warning if no existing packing has been pushed allowing easy identification of locations where the __rte_msvc_pack is missing.
