[PATCH v2 3/3] eal: replace out of bounds VLA with static_assert

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

Both Gcc, clang and MSVC have better way to do compile time
assertions rather than using out of bounds array access.
The old method would fail if -Wvla is enabled because compiler
can't determine size in that code.  Also, the use of new
_Static_assert will catch broken code that is passing non-constant
expression to RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON().
