ConnectX-5 supports enhanced version of multi-packet send (MPS). An MPS Tx
descriptor can carry multiple packets either by including pointers of
packets or by inlining packets. Inlining packet data can be helpful to
better utilize PCIe bandwidth. In addition, Enhanced MPS supports hybrid
mode - mixing inlined packets and pointers in a descriptor. This feature is
enabled by default if supported by HW.

Since there is no "descriptor done" flag like on Intel drivers, the
approach is different on mlx5 driver.
- for Tx, we call txq_complete() to free descriptors processed by
the hw, then we check if the descriptor is between tail and head
- for Rx, we need to browse the cqes, managing compressed ones,
to get the number of used descriptors.

Introduce a new API to get the status of a descriptor.
For Rx, it is almost similar to rx_descriptor_done API, except it
differentiates "used" descriptors (which are hold by the driver and not
returned to the hardware).
For Tx, it is a new API.
The descriptor_done() API, and probably the rx_queue_count() API could
be replaced by this new API as soon as it is implemented on all PMDs.

cachelines, for improved performance use 128B rather than 64B alignment
since it stops the producer and consumer data being on adjacent cachelines.
