The mbuf structure already contains a pointer to the beginning of the
buffer (m->buf_addr). It is not needed to use 8 bytes again to store
another pointer to the beginning of the data.
Using a 16 bits unsigned integer is enough as we know that a mbuf is
never longer than 64KB. We gain 6 bytes in the structure thanks to
this modification.

* Updated to apply to latest on mainline.
* Disabled vector PMD in config as it relies heavily on the mbuf layout
This will be re-enabled in a subsequent commit once vPMD has been
reworked to take account of mbuf changes.

The vlan_macip structure combined a vlan tag id with l2 and l3 headers
lengths for tracking offloads. However, this structure was only used as
a unit by the e1000 and ixgbe drivers, not generally.
This patch removes the structure from the mbuf header and places the
fields into the mbuf structure directly at the required point, without
any net effect on the structure layout. This allows us to treat the vlan
tags and header length fields as separate for future mbuf changes. The
drivers which were written to use the combined structure still do so,
using a driver-local definition of it.
Reduce perf regression caused by splitting vlan_macip field. This is
done by providing a single uint16_t value to allow writing/clearing
the l2 and l3 lengths together. There is still a small perf hit to the
slow path TX due to the reads from vlan_tci and l2/l3 lengths being
separated. (<5% in my tests with testpmd with no extra params).
Unfortunately, this cannot be eliminated, without restoring the vlan
tags and l2/l3 lengths as a combined 32-bit field. This would prevent
us from ever looking to move those fields about and is an artificial tie
that applies only for performance in igb and ixgbe drivers. Therefore,
this patch keeps the vlan_tci field separate from the lengths as the
best solution going forward.

The rte_pktmbuf structure was initially included in the rte_mbuf
structure. This was needed when there was 2 types of mbuf (ctrl and
packet). As the control mbuf has been removed, we can merge the
rte_pktmbuf into the rte_mbuf structure.
Advantages of doing this:
- the access to mbuf fields is easier (ex: m->data instead of m->pkt.data)
- make the structure more consistent: for instance, there was no reason
to have the ol_flags field in rte_mbuf
- it will allow a deeper reorganization of the rte_mbuf structure in the
next commits, allowing to gain several bytes in it

Some implementations of memmove may make a copy of src before writing to
dst. We avoid that by explicitly writing from src to dst backwards.

When using key compare function, it uses key length of the first
argument to determine how long should be the keys that are compared.
However, currently we are passing a key from the fragmentation table as
first argument. the problem with this is that this key is potentially
uninitialized (i.e. contains all zeroes, including key length). this
leads to a nasty bug of comparing only the key id's and not keys
themselves.
Of course, a safer way would be to do RTE_MAX between key lengths, but
since this compare is done per-packet, every cycle counts, so we just
use the key whose length is guaranteed to be correct because it comes
from an actual packet.

Mostly a copy-paste of IPv4, with a few caveats.
Only supported packets are those in which fragment extension header is
just after the IPv6 header.

Technically, fragmentation table can work for both IPv4 and IPv6
packets, so we're renaming everything to be generic enough to make sense
in IPv6 context.
