Added zero-size field (offset in data structure) to specify the beginning
of packet meta-data in the packet buffer just after the mbuf.
The size of the packet meta-data is application specific and the packet
meta-data is managed by the application.
The packet meta-data should always be accessed through the provided macros.
This is used by the Packet Framework libraries (port, table, pipeline).
There is absolutely no performance impact due to this mbuf field, as it
does not take any space in the mbuf structure (zero-size field).

This commit removes trailing whitespace from lines in files. Almost all
files are affected, as the BSD license copyright header had trailing
whitespace on 4 lines in it [hence the number of files reporting 8 lines
changed in the diffstat].

The DPDK dump functions are useful for remote debugging of an
applications. But when application runs as a daemon, stdout
is typically routed to /dev/null.
Instead change all these functions to take a stdio FILE * handle
instead. An application can then use open_memstream() to capture
the output.

rte_pktmbuf_attach copies the packet meta data but does not
copy the offload flags. This means that cloned packets lose
their offload settings such as vlan tag.

Allow poll-mode drivers to maintain their own caches of mbufs, by allowing them
to check if it's ok to free an mbuf (to their local cache) without actually
freeing it back to the memory pool itself.
