Hotplug support introduces the possibility of removing devices from the
system. Allocated resources must be freed.
Extend the rte_devargs API to allow freeing allocated resources.
This API is experimental and bound to change. It is currently designed
as a symetrical to rte_eal_devargs_add(), but the latter will evolve
shortly anyway.
Its DEVTYPE parameter is currently only used to specify scan policies,
and those will evolve in the next release. This evolution should
rationalize the rte_devargs API.
As such, the proposed API here is not the most convenient, but is
taylored to follow the current design and integrate easily with its main
use within rte_eal_hotplug_* functions.

This method must be implemented to allow using a unified, generic API to
hotplug devices, including virtual ones.
VDEV devices actually exist unattached after performing a scan on the
rte_devargs list. As such it makes sense to be able to perform a device
hotplug afterward.
Finally, missing this generic interface forces the EAL to be dependent
on vdev-specific API, which hinders the plan of moving the vdev bus to
drivers/bus.

The public API (struct rte_metric_name) includes the NULL terminator
byte in RTE_METRICS_MAX_NAME_LENGTH but the library itself internally
excludes it. This makes it possible for an application to receive an
unterminated name string. Fix be enforcing the NULL termination of all
name strings to the length that the public API expects.

Introducing the DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE TX capability flag.
if a PMD advertises DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE capable, multiple threads
can invoke rte_eth_tx_burst() concurrently on the same tx queue without
SW lock. This PMD feature will be useful in the following use cases and
found in the OCTEON family of NPUs.
1) Remove explicit spinlock in some applications where lcores
to TX queues are not mapped 1:1.
example: OVS has such instance
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/netdev-dpdk.c#L299https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/netdev-dpdk.c#L1859
See the the usage of tx_lock spinlock.
2) In the eventdev use case, avoid dedicating a separate TX core for
transmitting and thus enables more scaling as all workers can
send the packets.

This commit shows how easy it is to enable a specific
DPDK component with a service callback, in order to get
CPU cycles for it.
The beauty of this method is that the service is unaware
of how much CPU time it is getting - the application can
decide how to split and slice cores and map them to the
registered services.

Add a bunch of unit tests, to ensure that the service
core functions are operating as expected.
As part of these tests a dummy service is registered which
allows identifying if a service callback has been invoked
by using the CPU tick counter. This allows identifying if
functions to start and stop service lcores are actually having
effect.

This commit shows the changes required in rte_eal_init()
to transparently launch the service threads. The threads
are launched into the service worker functions here because
after rte_eal_init() the application is not gauranteed to
call any other DPDK API.
As the registration of services happens at initialization
time, the services that require CPU time are already available
when we reach the end of rte_eal_init().

Add header files, update .map files with new service
functions, and add the service header to the doxygen
for building.
This service header API allows DPDK to use services as
a concept of something that requires CPU cycles. An example
is a PMD that runs in software to schedule events, where a
hardware version exists that does not require a CPU.

Because accuracy of timing to the microsecond is not guaranteed
in rte_eal_alarm_set, this function will not be called before
the requested time, but may be called a period of time
afterwards which can not be calculated. In order to ensure
test alarm running success, this patch added the delay time
before check the flag.

Seen on Ubuntu 16.04 with GCC 5.4.0:
lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.c: In function 'get_mac_addr_index':
lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.c:2369:26: error:
'dev_info.max_mac_addrs' may be used uninitialized in this function
Indeed, rte_eth_dev_info_get() do not write into dev_info
if the port_id is not valid.
So we need to check the port_id and return in case of error.
This extra check should not be needed because the port_id is always
checked before calling get_mac_addr_index().
However it does not hurt.
