eal: do not panic when CPU is not supported

This adds a new API to check for the eal cpu versions.

It's now possible to gracefully exit the application, or for
applications which support non-dpdk datapaths working in concert with
DPDK datapaths, there no longer is the possibility of exiting for
unsupported CPUs.
