The length of the longest header name is used to adjust the padding
of the header row automatically, instead of fixed length.
The previous length (10) was too short for vdev_netvsc.

This patch adds support for meter configuration profiles.
Benefits: simplified configuration procedure, improved performance.
Q1: What is the configuration profile and why does it make sense?
A1: The configuration profile represents the set of configuration
parameters for a given meter object, such as the rates and sizes for
the token buckets. The configuration profile concept makes sense when
many meter objects share the same configuration, which is the typical
usage model: thousands of traffic flows are each individually metered
according to just a few service levels (i.e. profiles).
Q2: How is the configuration profile improving the performance?
A2: The performance improvement is achieved by reducing the memory
footprint of a meter object, which results in better cache utilization
for the typical case when large arrays of meter objects are used. The
internal data structures stored for each meter object contain:
a) Constant fields: Low level translation of the configuration
parameters that does not change post-configuration. This is
really duplicated for all meters that use the same
configuration. This is the configuration profile data that is
moved away from the meter object. Current size (implementation
dependent): srTCM = 32 bytes, trTCM = 32 bytes.
b) Variable fields: Time stamps and running counters that change
during the on-going traffic metering process. Current size
(implementation dependent): srTCM = 24 bytes, trTCM = 32 bytes.
Therefore, by moving the constant fields to a separate profile
data structure shared by all the meters with the same
configuration, the size of the meter object is reduced by ~50%.

rte_eth_rx_burst(..,nb_pkts) function has semantic that if return value
is smaller than requested, application can consider it end of packet
stream. Some hardware can only support smaller burst sizes which need
to be advertised. Similar is the case for Tx burst.
This patch adds deprecation notice for rte_eth_dev_info structure as
new members, for preferred Rx and Tx burst and ring size would be
added - impacting the size of the structure.
