Instead of parsing number of segments, from the command line,
parse segment size, as it is a more usual case to have
the segment size fixed and then different packet sizes
will require different number of segments.

This patch adds a new benchmarking mode, which is intended for
microbenchmarking individual parts of the cryptodev framework,
specifically crypto ops alloc-build-free, cryptodev PMD enqueue
and cryptodev PMD dequeue.
It works by first benchmarking crypto operation alloc-build-free
loop (no enqueues/dequeues happening), and then benchmarking
enqueue and dequeue separately, by first completely filling up the
TX queue, and then completely draining the RX queue.
Results are shown as cycle counts per alloc/build/free, PMD enqueue
and PMD dequeue.
One new test mode is added: "pmd-cyclecount"
(called with --ptest=pmd-cyclecount)
New command-line argument is also added:
--pmd-cyclecount-delay-ms: this is a pmd-cyclecount-specific parameter
that controls the delay between enqueue and dequeue. This is
useful for benchmarking hardware acceleration, as hardware may
not be able to keep up with enqueued packets. This parameter
can be increased if there are large amounts of dequeue
retries.

Authentication algorithms, such as AES-GMAC or the wireless
algorithms (like SNOW3G) use IV, like cipher algorithms.
So far, AES-GMAC has used the IV from the cipher structure,
and the wireless algorithms have used the AAD field,
which is not technically correct.
Therefore, authentication IV parameters have been added,
so API is more correct. Like cipher IV, auth IV is expected
to be copied after the crypto operation.

The coremask option in DPDK is difficult to use and we should be
promoting the use of the corelist (-l) option. The patch
adjusts the docs to use -l EAL option instead of the -c option.
The patch only changes the docs and not the code as the -c option
will continue to exist unless it is removed in the future. The -c
option should be kept to maintain backward compatibility.
