Template instances can allocate BIHASH_KVP_PER_PAGE data records
tangent to the bucket, to remove a dependent read / prefetch.
Template instances can ask for immediate memory allocation, to avoid
several branches in the lookup path.
Clean up l2 fib, gpb plugin codes: use clib_bihash_get_bucket(...)
Use hugepages for bihash allocation arenas

Add a bucket-level lock bit. Use a spinlock only when actually
allocating, freeing, or splitting a bucket. Should improve
multi-thread add/del performance.

Looks like CPU doesn't like overlaping loads.
This new codes in some cases shows 3-4 clock improvements.
