SubFunction is a portion of the PCI device, created on demand, a SF
netdev has its own dedicated queues(txq, rxq). A SF netdev supports
eswitch representation offload similar to existing PF and VF
representors.
To support SF representor, this patch introduces new devargs syntax,
examples:
representor=sf0 - single SubFunction representor
representor=sf[1,3,5] - single list
representor=sf[0-3], - single range
representor=sf[0,2-6,8,10-12] - list with singles and ranges

Replace -w / --pci-whitelist with -a / --allow options
and --pci-blacklist with --block.
The -b short option remains unchanged.
Allow the old options for now, but print a nag
warning since old options are deprecated.

Add document to describe the model for representing switching capable
devices in DPDK, using a general ethdev port model and through port
representors. This document also details the port model and the
rte_flow semantics required for flow programming, as well as listing
some example use cases.
