With the current scheme of event queue configuration the cfg schedule
type macros (RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_*_ONLY) are inconsistent with the
event schedule type (RTE_SCHED_TYPE_*) this requires unnecessary
conversion between the fastpath and slowpath API's while scheduling
events or configuring event queues.
This patch aims to fix such inconsistency by using event schedule
types (RTE_SCHED_TYPE_*) for event queue configuration.
This patch also fixes example/eventdev_pipeline_sw_pmd as it doesn't
convert RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_*_ONLY to RTE_SCHED_TYPE_* which leads to
improper events being enqueued to the eventdev.

Events sent through single-link queues are naturally in-order and
atomic, without reordering or atomic scheduling. Logically the
nb_atomic_flows and nb_atomic_order_sequences arguments don't apply to a
single link queue, but applications must set these (depending on the queue
config type) to bypass the is_valid_{ordered, atomic}_queue_conf() checks
in the eventdev layer.
This commit updates those is_valid_* functions to ignore queues with the
SINGLE_LINK flag, to simplify their configuration.

During the refactoring of the sample app to be more generic, the
option to set -n0 and process a huge number of packets was lost.
This commit re-adds -n0, and will process INT64_MAX number of packets.

This commit adds a sample app for the eventdev library.
The app has been tested with DPDK 17.05-rc2, hence this
release (or later) is recommended.
The sample app showcases a pipeline processing use-case,
with event scheduling and processing defined per stage.
The application receives traffic as normal, with each
packet traversing the pipeline. Once the packet has
been processed by each of the pipeline stages, it is
transmitted again.
The app provides a framework to utilize cores for a single
role or multiple roles. Examples of roles are the RX core,
TX core, Scheduling core (in the case of the event/sw PMD),
and worker cores.
Various flags are available to configure numbers of stages,
cycles of work at each stage, type of scheduling, number of
worker cores, queue depths etc. For a full explaination,
please refer to the documentation.
