The rte_ipv4_fragment_packet API expects that the link/interface MTU value
passed in be divisible by 8 bytes. Given the name of the parameter is
"mtu" rather than "frag_size" it is not necessarily the case that it will
be divisible by 8. An MTU of 1500 happens to produce a max fragment size
of 1480 (1500 - sizeof(ipv4_hdr)) which is divisible by 8 but other MTU
values such as 1600 or 9000 do not produce values that are divisible by 8.
Unfortunately, the API checks that the frag_size value produced is
divisible by 8 with a call to RTE_ASSERT which is only enabled when the
RTE_LOG_LEVEL >= RTE_LOG_DEBUG. In cases where the log level is set
normally the code silently continues and produces IP fragments that have
invalid fragment offset values.
An application may not have control over what MTU a user selects and rather
than have each application adjust the MTU to pass a suitable value to the
fragmentation API this change modifies the fragmentation API to handle
cases where the "mtu" argument is not divisible by 8 and automatically
adjust the internal "frag_size".

The macro RTE_VERIFY always checks a condition.
It is optimized with "unlikely" hint.
While this macro is well suited for test applications, it is preferred
in libraries and examples to enable such check in debug mode.
That's why the macro RTE_ASSERT is introduced to call RTE_VERIFY only
if built with debug logs enabled.
A lot of assert macros were duplicated and enabled with a specific flag.
Removing these #ifdef allows to test these code branches more easily
and avoid dead code pitfalls.
The ENA_ASSERT is kept (in debug mode only) because it has more
parameters to log.

The mbuf structure already contains a pointer to the beginning of the
buffer (m->buf_addr). It is not needed to use 8 bytes again to store
another pointer to the beginning of the data.
Using a 16 bits unsigned integer is enough as we know that a mbuf is
never longer than 64KB. We gain 6 bytes in the structure thanks to
this modification.

* Updated to apply to latest on mainline.
* Disabled vector PMD in config as it relies heavily on the mbuf layout
This will be re-enabled in a subsequent commit once vPMD has been
reworked to take account of mbuf changes.

The vlan_macip structure combined a vlan tag id with l2 and l3 headers
lengths for tracking offloads. However, this structure was only used as
a unit by the e1000 and ixgbe drivers, not generally.
This patch removes the structure from the mbuf header and places the
fields into the mbuf structure directly at the required point, without
any net effect on the structure layout. This allows us to treat the vlan
tags and header length fields as separate for future mbuf changes. The
drivers which were written to use the combined structure still do so,
using a driver-local definition of it.
Reduce perf regression caused by splitting vlan_macip field. This is
done by providing a single uint16_t value to allow writing/clearing
the l2 and l3 lengths together. There is still a small perf hit to the
slow path TX due to the reads from vlan_tci and l2/l3 lengths being
separated. (<5% in my tests with testpmd with no extra params).
Unfortunately, this cannot be eliminated, without restoring the vlan
tags and l2/l3 lengths as a combined 32-bit field. This would prevent
us from ever looking to move those fields about and is an artificial tie
that applies only for performance in igb and ixgbe drivers. Therefore,
this patch keeps the vlan_tci field separate from the lengths as the
best solution going forward.

The rte_pktmbuf structure was initially included in the rte_mbuf
structure. This was needed when there was 2 types of mbuf (ctrl and
packet). As the control mbuf has been removed, we can merge the
rte_pktmbuf into the rte_mbuf structure.
Advantages of doing this:
- the access to mbuf fields is easier (ex: m->data instead of m->pkt.data)
- make the structure more consistent: for instance, there was no reason
to have the ol_flags field in rte_mbuf
- it will allow a deeper reorganization of the rte_mbuf structure in the
next commits, allowing to gain several bytes in it

Moved out debug log macros into common, as reassembly code will later
need them as well.
