Some of the NICs supported by DPDK have a possibility to accelerate TCP
traffic by using segmentation offload. The application prepares a packet
with valid TCP header with size up to 64K and deleguates the
segmentation to the NIC.
Implement the generic part of TCP segmentation offload in rte_mbuf. It
introduces 2 new fields in rte_mbuf: l4_len (length of L4 header in bytes)
and tso_segsz (MSS of packets).
To delegate the TCP segmentation to the hardware, the user has to:
- set the PKT_TX_TCP_SEG flag in mbuf->ol_flags (this flag implies
PKT_TX_TCP_CKSUM)
- set the flag PKT_TX_IPV4 or PKT_TX_IPV6
- set PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM if it's IPv4, and set the IP checksum to 0 in
the packet
- fill the mbuf offload information: l2_len, l3_len, l4_len, tso_segsz
- calculate the pseudo header checksum without taking ip_len in account,
and set it in the TCP header, for instance by using
rte_ipv4_phdr_cksum(ip_hdr, ol_flags)
The API is inspired from ixgbe hardware (the next commit adds the
support for ixgbe), but it seems generic enough to be used for other
hw/drivers in the future.
This commit also reworks the way l2_len and l3_len are used in igb
and ixgbe drivers as the l2_l3_len is not available anymore in mbuf.

For apps that were using default rte_eth_rxconf and rte_eth_txconf
structures, these have been removed and now they are obtained by
calling rte_eth_dev_info_get, just before setting up RX/TX queues.

Since commit a155d43011 ("support link bonding device initialization"),
rte_eal_pci_probe() is called in rte_eal_init().
So it doesn't have to be called by application anymore.
It has been fixed for testpmd in commit 2950a76931,
and this patch remove it from other applications.

The vlan_macip structure combined a vlan tag id with l2 and l3 headers
lengths for tracking offloads. However, this structure was only used as
a unit by the e1000 and ixgbe drivers, not generally.
This patch removes the structure from the mbuf header and places the
fields into the mbuf structure directly at the required point, without
any net effect on the structure layout. This allows us to treat the vlan
tags and header length fields as separate for future mbuf changes. The
drivers which were written to use the combined structure still do so,
using a driver-local definition of it.
Reduce perf regression caused by splitting vlan_macip field. This is
done by providing a single uint16_t value to allow writing/clearing
the l2 and l3 lengths together. There is still a small perf hit to the
slow path TX due to the reads from vlan_tci and l2/l3 lengths being
separated. (<5% in my tests with testpmd with no extra params).
Unfortunately, this cannot be eliminated, without restoring the vlan
tags and l2/l3 lengths as a combined 32-bit field. This would prevent
us from ever looking to move those fields about and is an artificial tie
that applies only for performance in igb and ixgbe drivers. Therefore,
this patch keeps the vlan_tci field separate from the lengths as the
best solution going forward.

In some cases we may want to tag a packet for a particular destination
or output port, so rename the "in_port" field in the mbuf to just "port"
so that it can be re-used for this purpose if an application needs it.

The rte_pktmbuf structure was initially included in the rte_mbuf
structure. This was needed when there was 2 types of mbuf (ctrl and
packet). As the control mbuf has been removed, we can merge the
rte_pktmbuf into the rte_mbuf structure.
Advantages of doing this:
- the access to mbuf fields is easier (ex: m->data instead of m->pkt.data)
- make the structure more consistent: for instance, there was no reason
to have the ol_flags field in rte_mbuf
- it will allow a deeper reorganization of the rte_mbuf structure in the
next commits, allowing to gain several bytes in it

The initial role of rte_ctrlmbuf is to carry generic messages (data
pointer + data length) but it's not used by the DPDK or it applications.
Keeping it implies:
- loosing 1 byte in the rte_mbuf structure
- having some dead code rte_mbuf.[ch]
This patch removes this feature. Thanks to it, it is now possible to
simplify the rte_mbuf structure by merging the rte_pktmbuf structure
in it. This is done in next commit.

* Updated patch to HEAD.
* Modified patch to retain the old function names for ctrl mbufs as
macros. This helps with app compatibility, and allows the concept
of a control mbuf to be reintroduced via a single-bit flag in
a future change.
* Updated the packet framework ip_pipeline example application to
work following this change.

It seems that RTE_MBUF_SCATTER_GATHER is not the proper name for the
feature it provides. "Scatter gather" means that data is stored using
several buffers. RTE_MBUF_REFCNT seems to be a better name for that
feature as it provides a reference counter for mbufs.
The macro RTE_MBUF_SCATTER_GATHER is poisoned to ensure this
modification is seen by drivers or applications using it.

The "default" part in configuration filenames is misleading.
Rename this as "native", as this is the RTE_MACHINE that is set in these files.
This should make it clearer for people who build DPDK on a system then run it on
