The corrupted code used wrongly snprintf return value as the
number of characters actually copied, in spite of the meaning
is the number of characters which would be generated for the
given input.
It caused to remain zerod bytes between the failsafe command line
non sub device parameters indicates end of string.
Hence, when rte_kvargs_parse tried to parse all parameters, it
got end of string after the first one and the others weren't parsed.
So, if the mac parameters was the first in command line it was
taken while hotplug_poll was left default, and vice versa.
The fix updates the buffer index by dedicated variable contains
the copy size, by the way validates the comma separation.

When the output of an exec() slave definition is only a single newline
character, the fail-safe currently fails to parse the device with the
value returned by the rte_devargs library.
This behavior is incorrect, because the fail-safe should make a
difference between the absence of a device, and an erroneous device
declaration.
Fix the output sanitization in the case where no newline was at its end
and detect the special case of an absent device. The correct error code
is then returned.

When there is no preferred device, failsafe will always
try to scan for preferred device. And if there is no device
found with the exec option, popen() will get an empty output.
In this case, it was forgotten to close the file descriptor.
It is fixed by closing the file descriptor even if the output is empty.

Listen to INTR_RMV events issued by slaves.
Add atomic flags on slave queues to detect use of slave bursts function.
If a removal is detected, set the recollection flag on this slave.
During a slave upkeep round, if its recollection flag is set and its
burst functions are not in use by any thread, remove that slave.

Add the "exec" device type.
The parameters given to this type of device will be executed in a shell.
The output of this command is then used as a definition for a device.
That command can be re-interpreted if the related device is not
plugged-in. It allows for a device definition to react to system
changes (e.g. changing PCI bus for a given device).

Periodically check for the existence of a device.
If a device has not been initialized and exists on the system, then it
is probed and configured.
The configuration process strives to synchronize the states between the
plugged-in sub-device and the fail-safe device.

Introduce the fail-safe poll mode driver initialization and enable its
build infrastructure.
This PMD allows for applications to benefit from true hot-plugging
support without having to implement it.
It intercepts and manages Ethernet device removal events issued by
slave PMDs and re-initializes them transparently when brought back.
It also allows defining a contingency to the removal of a device, by
designating a fail-over device that will take on transmitting operations
if the preferred device is removed.
Applications only see a fail-safe instance, without caring for
underlying activity ensuring their continued operations.
