Copy threshold has been introduced in async vhost data
path to select the appropriate copy engine to do copies
for higher efficiency.
However, it may cause packets ordering issues and also
introduces performance unpredictability.
Therefore, this patch removes copy threshold support in
async vhost data path.

This patch reworks the async configuration structure to improve code
readability. In addition, add preserved padding fields on the structure
for future usage.

This patch saves the NUMA node the virtqueue is allocated
on at init time, in order to allocate all other data on the
same node.
While most of the data are allocated before numa_realloc()
is called and so the data will be reallocated properly, some
data like the log cache are most likely allocated after.
For the virtio device metadata, we decide to allocate them
on the same node as the VQ 0.

The vhost library currently configures Tx offloading (PKT_TX_*) on any
packet received from a guest virtio device which asks for some offloading.
This is problematic, as Tx offloading is something that the application
must ask for: the application needs to configure devices
to support every used offloads (ip, tcp checksumming, tso..), and the
various l2/l3/l4 lengths must be set following any processing that
happened in the application itself.
On the other hand, the received packets are not marked wrt current
packet l3/l4 checksumming info.
Copy virtio rx processing to fix those offload flags with some
differences:
- accept VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN and VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP,
- ignore anything but the VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM flag (to comply with
the virtio spec),
Some applications might rely on the current behavior, so it is left
untouched by default.
A new RTE_VHOST_USER_NET_COMPLIANT_OL_FLAGS flag is added to enable the
new behavior.
The vhost example has been updated for the new behavior: TSO is applied to
any packet marked LRO.

For now async vhost data path only supports split ring. This patch
enables packed ring in async vhost data path to make async vhost
compatible with virtio 1.1 spec.

There is no reason for the DPDK libraries to all have 'librte_' prefix on
the directory names. This prefix makes the directory names longer and also
makes it awkward to add features referring to individual libraries in the
build - should the lib names be specified with or without the prefix.
Therefore, we can just remove the library prefix and use the library's
unique name as the directory name, i.e. 'eal' rather than 'librte_eal'
