When hardware error happens, vdpa didn't get such information and leave
driver in silent: working state but no response.
This patch subscribes firmware virtq error event and try to recover max
3 times in 3 seconds, stop virtq if max retry number reached.
When error happens, PMD log in warning level. If failed to recover,
outputs error log. Query virtq statistics to get error counters report.

Since the built driver filenames have changed in DPDK 20.11, we need to
update the driver doc to match.
Most drivers start their section with the driver filename highlighted in
bold, while a number were missing the highlight. When updating the names,
add the markers for bold text to any missing it, so as to have things more
consistent.

The CQ polling is necessary in order to manage guest notifications when
the guest doesn't work with poll mode (callfd != -1).
The CQ polling scheduling method can affect the host CPU utilization and
the traffic bandwidth.
Define 3 modes to control the CQ polling scheduling:
1. A timer thread which automatically adjusts its delays to the coming
traffic rate.
2. A timer thread with fixed delay time.
3. Interrupts: Each CQE burst arms the CQ in order to get an interrupt
event in the next traffic burst.
When traffic becomes off, mode 3 is taken automatically.
The interrupt management takes a lot of CPU cycles but forward traffic
event to the guest very fast.
Timer thread save the interrupt overhead but may add delay for the guest
notification.
Add device arguments to control on the mode.

The devices of the family ConnectX may have two letters as suffix.
Such suffix is preceded with a space and the second x is lowercase:
- ConnectX-4 Lx
- ConnectX-5 Ex
- ConnectX-6 Dx
Uppercase of the device family name BlueField is also fixed.
The lists of supported devices are fixed.

Add a new driver to support vDPA operations by Mellanox devices.
The first Mellanox devices which support vDPA operations are
ConnectX-6 Dx and Bluefield1 HCA for their PF ports and VF ports.
This driver is depending on rdma-core like the mlx5 PMD, also it is
going to use mlx5 DevX to create HW objects directly by the FW.
Hence, the common/mlx5 library is linked to the mlx5_vdpa driver.
This driver will not be compiled by default due to the above
dependencies.
Register a new log type for this driver.
