Latest mbuf changes (priv_size addition and related fixes)
exposed small problem with testpmd and few other sample apps:
when mbuf size is exaclty 2KB or less, that causes
ixgbe PMD to select scattered RX even for configs with 'normal'
max packet length (max_rx_pkt_len == ETHER_MAX_LEN).
To overcome that problem and unify the code, new macro was created
to represent recommended minimal buffer length for mbuf.
When appropriate, samples are updated to use that macro.
Fixes: dfb03bbe2b ("app/testpmd: use standard functions to initialize
mbufs and mbuf pool")

When it's possible, use the new helper to create the mbuf pools.
Most of the patch is trivial, except for the following files that
have some specifics (indirect mbufs):
- ip_fragmentation
- ip_pipeline
- ipv4_multicast
- vhost

Avoid building tests if their counterparts are not selected in config.
This has the nice side effect of fixing build errors when disabling parts of
the dpdk.

As this unit test does not create devices anymore,
and uses devices created by EAL option --vdev,
there were unnecesary tests that were repeated,
so they have been removed.
So now there are three tests:
1 - Test two devices that share a ring, one device
with just one RX queue and the other with one
TX queue.
2 - Test a device connected to itself (loopback) by
a ring, with both RX and TX queue.
3 - Test two devices that share a ring, but both devices
with RX and TX queue, so they can send packets to themselves
and to the other device.

This commit removes trailing whitespace from lines in files. Almost all
files are affected, as the BSD license copyright header had trailing
whitespace on 4 lines in it [hence the number of files reporting 8 lines
changed in the diffstat].

Convert the ring driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro and fix up the
Makefile so that its linkage is only done if we are building static libraries.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the ring library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option. Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.
Note that the ring driver was also written in such a way that it violated some
general layering principles, several functions were contained in the pmd which
were being called by example from the test application in the app/test
directory. Specifically it was calling eth_ring_pair_attach,
eth_ring_pair_create and rte_eth_ring_devinit, which should only be called
internally to the dpdk core library. To correct this I've removed those
functions, and instead allowed them to be called indirectly at initalization
time using the vdev command line argument key nodeaction=<name>:<node>:<action>
where action is one of ATTACH or CREATE. I've tested out the functionality of
the command line with the testpmd utility, with success, and have removed the
called functions from the test utility. This will affect how the test utility
is invoked (the -d and --vdev option will need to be specified on the command
line now), but honestly, given the way it was coded, I think the testing of the
ring pmd was not the best example of how to code with dpdk to begin with. I
have also left the two layer violating functions in place, so as not to break
existing applications, but added deprecation warnings to them so that apps can
migrate off them.

Instead of having a list of virtual device drivers in EAL code, add an
API to register drivers. Thanks to this new registration method, we can
remove the references to pmd_ring, pmd_pcap and pmd_xenvirt in EAL code.
This also enables the ability to register a virtual device driver as
a shared library.
The registration is done in an init function flaged with
__attribute__((constructor)). The new convention is to name this
function rte_pmd_xyz_init(). The per-device init function is renamed
rte_pmd_xyz_devinit().
By the way the internal PMDs are now also .so/standalone ready. Let's do
it later on. It will be required to ease maintenance.
