Added 4 unit tests checking link bonding mode 6 behavior.
Also modified virtual_pmd so it is possible to provide packets,
that should be received with rx_burst and to inspect packets
transmitted by tx_burst.
In packet_burst_generator.c function creating eth_header is
modified, so it accepts ether_type as a parameter and function
creating arp_header is added. Updated other unit tests to get
rid of compilation errors.

The Link bonding library is incorrectly using receive packet type flags
in the transmit policy hashing functions, which would cause packets
generated locally to be incorrectly distributed across the slave
devices. This patch completely removes the dependency on the packet
type flags and uses the ether_type from either the Ethernet header or
the VLAN headers for branching.
This patch also includes the associate changes in the test suite and in
the packet_burst_generator code to remove the dependences on the packet
type flags.

This patch contains a fix for link bonding handling of vlan tagged packets in mode 3 and 5.
Currently xmit_slave_hash function misinterprets the PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT flag to mean that
there is a vlan tag within the packet when in actually means that there is a valid entry
in the vlan_tci field in the mbuf.
- Fixed VLAN tag support in hashing functions.
- Adds support for TCP in layer 4 header hashing.
- Splits transmit hashing function into separate functions for each policy to
reduce branching and to make the code clearer.
- Fixed incorrect flag set in test application packet generator.

The mbuf structure already contains a pointer to the beginning of the
buffer (m->buf_addr). It is not needed to use 8 bytes again to store
another pointer to the beginning of the data.
Using a 16 bits unsigned integer is enough as we know that a mbuf is
never longer than 64KB. We gain 6 bytes in the structure thanks to
this modification.

* Updated to apply to latest on mainline.
* Disabled vector PMD in config as it relies heavily on the mbuf layout
This will be re-enabled in a subsequent commit once vPMD has been
reworked to take account of mbuf changes.

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.

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
