Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
- no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
- all allocated ports are available to the application
Such application iterates over ports by its own mean.
The most common pattern is to request the port count and
assume ports with index in the range [0..count[ can be used.
There are three consequences when using such wrong design:
- new ports having an index higher than the port count won't be seen
- old ports being detached (RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED) can be seen as ghosts
- failsafe sub-devices (RTE_ETH_DEV_DEFERRED) will be seen by the application
Such mistake will be less common with growing hotplug awareness.
All applications and examples inside this repository - except testpmd -
must be fixed to use the iterator RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV.

Since the DPDK build now includes both static and shared libraries, we need
a new way to enable building the examples using either method from the one
installation. To do this, we add in a default "shared" target, and a
separate "static" target which links in the DPDK static libraries. In both
cases, the final application name is symlinked to the last-built static or
shared target, with both binaries able to co-exist in the build directory.

Change the example app Makefiles to query if DPDK is installed and
registered using pkg-config. If so, build directly using pkg-config info,
otherwise fall back to using the original build system with RTE_SDK and
RTE_TARGET
This commit changes the makefiles for the basic examples, i.e. those which
do not have multiple subdirectories underneath the main examples dir.
Examples not covered are:
* ethtool
* multi_process
* performance-thread
* quota_watermark
* netmap_compat
* server_node_efd
* vm_power_manager

Reorder the text in the makefiles, so that the app name and the source
files are listed first. This then will allow them to be shared later in a
combined makefile building with pkg-config and RTE_SDK-based build system.

This app demonstrate usage of new rte_jobstats library.
It is basically the orginal l2fwd with following modifications to met
library requirements:
- main_loop() was split into two jobs: forward job and flush job. Logic
for those jobs is almost the same as in original application.
- stats is moved to rte_alarm callback to not introduce overhead of
printing.
- stats are expanded to show rte_jobstats statistics.
- added new parameter '-l' to automatic thousands separator.
Comparing original l2fwd and l2fwd-jobstats apps will show approach what
is needed to properly write own application with rte_jobstats
measurements.
New available statistics:
- Total and % of fwd and flush execution time
- management time - overhead of rte_timer + overhead of rte_jobstats
library
- Idle time and % of time spent waiting for fwd or flush to be ready to
execute.
- per job execution time and period.
