Fail-safe attempts to read an ultimate statistics on removal time; if
that fails, it uses the latest recorded snapshot.
This patch adds timestamp for each stats snapshot to allow a time report
since the last snapshot in case of the above failure.
By this way, the user can estimate the stats read accuracy.

Extend port_id definition from uint8_t to uint16_t in lib and drivers
data structures, specifically rte_eth_dev_data. Modify the APIs,
drivers and app using port_id at the same time.
Fix some checkpatch issues from the original code and remove some
unnecessary cast operations.
release_17_11 and deprecation docs have been updated in this patch.

The previous stats code returned only the current TX sub
device stats.
This enhancement extends it to return the sum of all sub
devices stats with history of removed sub-devices.
Dedicated stats accumulator saves the stat history of all
sub device remove events.
Each failsafe sub device contains the last stats asked by
the user and updates the accumulator in removal time.
I would like to implement ultimate snapshot on removal time.
The stats_get API needs to be changed to return error in the
case it is too late to retrieve statistics.
By this way, failsafe can get stats snapshot in removal interrupt
callback for each PMD which can give stats after removal event.

The sub_device iterator macro should follow the general gist of the
tailq API for an easier understanding and safer use.
Once the loop has finished, the iterator should be set to NULL.
If no sub_device was iterated upon, the iterator should still be NULL.

The corrupted code couldn't recognize that all sub devices
were not ready for Tx traffic when failsafe PMD was trying
to switch device because of an unreachable condition using.
Hence, the current Tx sub device variable was not updated
correctly.
The fix removed the unreachable branch and added new one
in the right place respecting the original intent.

Listen to INTR_RMV events issued by slaves.
Add atomic flags on slave queues to detect use of slave bursts function.
If a removal is detected, set the recollection flag on this slave.
During a slave upkeep round, if its recollection flag is set and its
burst functions are not in use by any thread, remove that slave.

Add the "exec" device type.
The parameters given to this type of device will be executed in a shell.
The output of this command is then used as a definition for a device.
That command can be re-interpreted if the related device is not
plugged-in. It allows for a device definition to react to system
changes (e.g. changing PCI bus for a given device).

Periodically check for the existence of a device.
If a device has not been initialized and exists on the system, then it
is probed and configured.
The configuration process strives to synchronize the states between the
plugged-in sub-device and the fail-safe device.

Introduce the fail-safe poll mode driver initialization and enable its
build infrastructure.
This PMD allows for applications to benefit from true hot-plugging
support without having to implement it.
It intercepts and manages Ethernet device removal events issued by
slave PMDs and re-initializes them transparently when brought back.
It also allows defining a contingency to the removal of a device, by
designating a fail-over device that will take on transmitting operations
if the preferred device is removed.
Applications only see a fail-safe instance, without caring for
underlying activity ensuring their continued operations.
