Add a new driver to support vDPA operations by Mellanox devices.
The first Mellanox devices which support vDPA operations are
ConnectX-6 Dx and Bluefield1 HCA for their PF ports and VF ports.
This driver is depending on rdma-core like the mlx5 PMD, also it is
going to use mlx5 DevX to create HW objects directly by the FW.
Hence, the common/mlx5 library is linked to the mlx5_vdpa driver.
This driver will not be compiled by default due to the above
dependencies.
Register a new log type for this driver.

A new vDPA class was recently introduced.
IFC driver implements the vDPA operations,
hence it should be moved to the vDPA class.
Move it.

The vDPA (vhost data path acceleration) drivers provide support for
the vDPA operations introduced by the rte_vhost library.
Any driver which provides the vDPA operations should be moved\added to
the vdpa class under drivers/vdpa/.
Create the general files for vDPA class in drivers and in documentation.
The management tree for vDPA drivers is
git://dpdk.org/next/dpdk-next-virtio.
