58c82067f1 app/testpmd: use consistent vdev names
The vdev eth_bond has been renamed to net_bond.
testpmd is creating a bonding device with the old prefix.
It is changed for consistency.

The script test-null.sh was failing because using the old name
for the null vdev.

Fixes also the bonding and testpmd doc.

Fixes: 2f45703c17ac ("drivers: make driver names consistent")

7123fa5ae7 doc: add flow bifurcation howto on Linux
Flow Bifurcation is a mechanism which uses features of advanced
Ethernet devices to split traffic between queues. It provides
the capability to let the kernel driver and DPDK driver co-exist
and take advantage of both.

It is achieved by using SR-IOV and the NIC's advanced filtering. This
patch describes Flow Bifurcation and adds the user guide for ixgbe
and i40e NICs.
