Fail-safe attempts to read an ultimate statistics on removal time; if
that fails, it uses the latest recorded snapshot.
This patch adds timestamp for each stats snapshot to allow a time report
since the last snapshot in case of the above failure.
By this way, the user can estimate the stats read accuracy.

The stats_get API was changed to signal a potential failure to read
stats. Furthermore, some PMDs are able to provide statistics even
after a removal event occurred.
Considering this, the fail-safe can try to access the latest
statistics of a PMD to improve statistics accuracy.
Attempt an ultimate statistics read on removal time; if that
fails, use the latest recorded snapshot.

Extend port_id definition from uint8_t to uint16_t in lib and drivers
data structures, specifically rte_eth_dev_data. Modify the APIs,
drivers and app using port_id at the same time.
Fix some checkpatch issues from the original code and remove some
unnecessary cast operations.
release_17_11 and deprecation docs have been updated in this patch.

The previous stats code returned only the current TX sub
device stats.
This enhancement extends it to return the sum of all sub
devices stats with history of removed sub-devices.
Dedicated stats accumulator saves the stat history of all
sub device remove events.
Each failsafe sub device contains the last stats asked by
the user and updates the accumulator in removal time.
I would like to implement ultimate snapshot on removal time.
The stats_get API needs to be changed to return error in the
case it is too late to retrieve statistics.
By this way, failsafe can get stats snapshot in removal interrupt
callback for each PMD which can give stats after removal event.

The corrupted code don't reply error in case of MAC
address adding failure while failsafe PMD was trying
to apply configuration to the sub device.
Hence, the application may get unwanted packets.
The fix adds error report for this case.

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.
