The following tools may be installed system-wide.
It may be cleaner and more convenient to find them with the same
dpdk- prefix (especially for autocompletion).
Moreover, the script dpdk_nic_bind.py deserves a new name because it is
not restricted to NICs and can be used for e.g. crypto.
These files are renamed:
pmdinfogen -> dpdk-pmdinfogen
pmdinfo.py -> dpdk-pmdinfo.py
dpdk_pdump -> dpdk-pdump
dpdk_proc_info -> dpdk-procinfo
dpdk_nic_bind.py -> dpdk-devbind.py
setup.sh -> dpdk-setup.sh
The tools pmdinfogen, pmdinfo.py and dpdk_pdump are new in 16.07.
The scripts dpdk_nic_bind.py and setup.sh may have been used with
previous releases by end users. That's why a symbolic link still
provide the old name in the installed tools directory.

The new pdump tool is added for packet capturing on dpdk.
This tool runs as secondary process by default.
Tool facilitates the command line options like
port, device_id, queue which user should pass on
to the tool to request the packet capture on those devices.
Tool creates the rte ring, mempool and pcap vdev and
calls the enable API of the pdump library with port/device_id,
queue, ring and mempool as arguments to enable the packet
capture on specific devices and gets the packets from the
primary process over the ring. Once the packets are
received, those packets will be send to the pcap vdev.
Tool can be terminated by using ctrl+c(SIGINT) upon which tool
calls the disable API of the pdump library to disable the packet capture
and dequeues the rest of the packets from the ring and sends them on
to the pcap vdev, then after releases all allocated resources.
