  Create rte_common_ring.[ch] files which will be modified to contain
generic ring implementation code to be shared across multiple ring
implementations for different sizes and types of data.
For now, these are exact copies of the original rte_ring files.

- *
- * - FIFO (First In First Out)
- * - Maximum size is fixed; the pointers are stored in a table.
- * - Lockless implementation.
- * - Multi- or single-consumer dequeue.
- * - Multi- or single-producer enqueue.
- * - Bulk dequeue.
- * - Bulk enqueue.

- * Note: the ring implementation is not preemptable. A lcore must not
