EAL should not depend on the PQoS library.
Please could you hook the command line parsing and help to
add these new options from outside?

The command line options may be convenient in some cases but not
straightforward for some applications.
>From now, the runtime options must be also configurable with an API.
Please consider a clean configuration API first in the library.
Then it can be hooked in the EAL command line.
A thought: should we move the EAL command line in a separate library
with a hook API?
