This patch introduces new ethdev generic API for Traffic Metering and
Policing (MTR), which is yet another standard RX offload for Ethernet
devices.
Similar to rte_flow and rte_tm APIs, the configuration of MTR objects is
done in their own namespace (rte_mtr) within the librte_ether library.
Main features:
1. Traffic metering: determine the color for the current packet (green,
yellow, red) based on history maintained by the MTR object. Supported
algorithms: srTCM (RFC 2697), trTCM (RFC 2698 and RFC 4115).
2. Policing (per meter output color actions): re-color the packet (keep
or change the meter output color) or drop the packet.
3. Statistics
4. Capability API

rte_flow_error_set() is a convenient helper to initialize error objects.
Since there is no fundamental reason to prevent applications from using it,
expose it through the public interface after modifying its return value
from positive to negative. This is done for consistency with the rest of
the public interface.
Documentation is updated accordingly.

Now that dpdk supports more than one mempool drivers and
each mempool driver works best for specific PMD, example:
- sw ring based mempool for Intel PMD drivers.
- dpaa2 HW mempool manager for dpaa2 PMD driver.
- fpa HW mempool manager for Octeontx PMD driver.
Application would like to know the best mempool handle
for any port.
Introducing rte_eth_dev_pool_ops_supported() API,
which allows PMD driver to advertise
his supported pool capability to the application.
Supported pools are categorized in below priority:-
- Best mempool handle for this port (Highest priority '0')
- Port supports this mempool handle (Priority '1')

This patch adds a new eth_dev layer API function rte_eth_dev_reset(),
which a DPDK application can call to reset a NIC and keep its port id
afterwards. It means that all software resources allocated in the ethdev
layer are kept, and software & hardware resources of the NIC within the
NIC's PMD are reset to a state simular to that obtained by calling the
PCI dev_uninit() and then dev_init(). This effective sequence of
dev_uninit() and dev_init() is packed into a single API function
rte_eth_dev_reset().
Please see the comments before the declaration of rte_eht_dev_reset()
in lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.h to get more details on why this
function is needed, what it does, when it should be called
and what an application should do after calling this function.

While almost all libraries have the library name match the directory name,
some libraries and drivers do not. For those that don't, some have the
version filename use the libname, e.g. null_crypto, others have it use the
directory name, e.g. ether. Using the library name seems the better
standard to follow, so rename rte_ether_version.map to
rte_ethdev_version.map.
