[PATCH 0/3] eal: rte_ctrl_thread_create API replacement

[Tyler Retzlaff <roretzla@linux.microsoft.com>]

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.

Tyler Retzlaff (3):
  eal: add rte control thread create API
  test: add rte control thread create API test
  eal: deprecate pthread control thread create API
