xran's xran_bm_init() uses rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() to allocate DPDK
buffers. For a 1x1 configuration, the number of buffers might be too
small, and rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() might fail. This commit ensures
that we increase the number of buffers to have enough even in a 1x1
configuration. This works by chosing the next power of two, which is
recommended as per DPDK documentation.
Closes-Bug: #750
Disable DPDK telemetry to skip creation of one/two threads (depending on
DPDK version). To force users to do this, bump the version of the patch
checked by cmake.

Force the CPU affinity for ru_thread explicitly to ru_thread_core. It is
already done via threadCreate(), but force again as per change request.
Delete commented 7.2 code that did the equivalent. We cannot set it in
the driver, as we don't have access to variable ru->ru_thread_core.

system_core is the core reserved for DPDK control threads. It was
hardcoded to 0, but it seems that one some systems, CPU 0 cannot be
reasonably isolated from kernel threads. Make it therefore configurable
(default: 0)
