Since rdma-core glue libraries are intrinsically tied to their respective
PMDs and used as internal plug-ins, their presence in the default search
path among other system libraries for the dynamic linker is not necessarily
desired.
This commit enables their installation and subsequent look-up at run time
in RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH if configured to a nonempty string. This path can also
be overridden by environment variables MLX[45]_GLUE_PATH.

When mlx5 is not compiled directly as an independent shared object (e.g.
CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB not enabled for performance reasons), DPDK
applications inherit its dependencies on libibverbs and libmlx5 through
rte.app.mk.
This is an issue both when DPDK is delivered as a binary package (Linux
distributions) and for end users because rdma-core then propagates as a
mandatory dependency for everything.
Application writers relying on binary DPDK packages are not necessarily
aware of this fact and may end up delivering packages with broken
dependencies.
This patch therefore introduces an intermediate internal plug-in
hard-linked with rdma-core (to preserve symbol versioning) loaded by the
PMD through dlopen(), so that a missing rdma-core does not cause unresolved
symbols, allowing applications to start normally.

Removed the hardcoded preconfigured Rx VLAN offload configuration
from testpmd and changed the Rx offload command line parameters from
disable to enable.
It has been decided by the Technical Board that testers who wish to
use these offloads will now have to explicitly write them in the
command-line when running testpmd.
The agreement is to keep two exceptions enabled by default in 18.02:
Rx CRC strip and Tx fast free.
Motivation:
Some PMDs such at the mlx4 may not implement all the offloads.
After the offload API rework assuming no offload is enabled by default,
commit ce17eddefc20 ("ethdev: introduce Rx queue offloads API")
commit cba7f53b717d ("ethdev: introduce Tx queue offloads API") trying
to enable a not supported offload is clearly an error which will cause
configuration failing.
Considering that testpmd is an application to test the PMD, it should
not fail on a configuration which was not explicitly requested.
The behavior of this test application is then turned to an opt-in
model.

The ownership of a port is implicit in DPDK.
Making it explicit is better from the next reasons:
1. It will define well who is in charge of the port usage synchronization.
2. A library could work on top of a port.
3. A port can work on top of another port.
Also in the fail-safe case, an issue has been met in testpmd.
We need to check that the application is not trying to use a port which
is already managed by fail-safe.
A port owner is built from owner id(number) and owner name(string) while
the owner id must be unique to distinguish between two identical entity
instances and the owner name can be any name.
The name helps to logically recognize the owner by different DPDK
entities and allows easy debug.
Each DPDK entity can allocate an owner unique identifier and can use it
and its preferred name to owns valid ethdev ports.
Each DPDK entity can get any port owner status to decide if it can
manage the port or not.
The mechanism is synchronized for both the primary process threads and
the secondary processes threads to allow secondary process entity to be
a port owner.
Add a synchronized ownership mechanism to DPDK Ethernet devices to
avoid multiple management of a device by different DPDK entities.
The current ethdev internal port management is not affected by this
feature.
