[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 6/6] cfgfile: add support for empty value string

[Allain Legacy]

This commit adds support to the cfgfile library for parsing a key=value
line that has no value string specified (e.g., "key=").  This can be used
to override a configuration attribute that has a default value or default
list of values to set it back to an undefined value to disable
functionality.
