When receiving coalesced packets in virtio, the original size of the
segments is provided. This is a useful information because it allows to
resegment with the same size.
Add a RX new flag in mbuf, that can be set when packets are coalesced by
a hardware or virtual driver when the m->tso_segsz field is valid and is
set to the segment size of original packets.
This flag is used in next commits in the virtio pmd.

Following discussions in [1] and [2], introduce a new bit to
describe the Rx checksum status in mbuf.
Before this patch, only one flag was available:
PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD: L4 cksum of RX pkt. is not OK.
And same for L3:
PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_BAD: IP cksum of RX pkt. is not OK.
This had 2 issues:
- it was not possible to differentiate "checksum good" from
"checksum unknown".
- it was not possible for a virtual driver to say "the checksum
in packet may be wrong, but data integrity is valid".
This patch tries to solve this issue by having 4 states (2 bits)
for the IP and L4 Rx checksums. New values are:
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_UNKNOWN: no information about the RX L4 checksum
-> the application should verify the checksum by sw
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD: the L4 checksum in the packet is wrong
-> the application can drop the packet without additional check
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_GOOD: the L4 checksum in the packet is valid
-> the application can accept the packet without verifying the
checksum by sw
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_NONE: the L4 checksum is not correct in the packet
data, but the integrity of the L4 data is verified.
-> the application can process the packet but must not verify the
checksum by sw. It has to take care to recalculate the cksum
if the packet is transmitted (either by sw or using tx offload)
And same for L3 (replace L4 by IP in description above).
This commit tries to be compatible with existing applications that
only check the existing flag (CKSUM_BAD).

Dumping the packet type is useful for debug purposes. Instead
of having each application providing its function to do that,
introduce functions to do it.
It factorizes the code and reduces the risk of desynchronization between

Introduce the function rte_net_get_ptype() that parses a mbuf and
returns its packet type. For now, the following packet types are parsed:
L2: Ether
L3: IPv4, IPv6
L4: TCP, UDP, SCTP
The goal here is to provide a reference implementation for packet type
parsing. This function will be used by testpmd in next commits, allowing
to compare its result with the value given by the hardware.
This function will also be useful when implementing Rx offload support
in virtio pmd. Indeed, the virtio protocol gives the csum start and
offset, but it does not give the L4 protocol nor it tells if the
checksum is relevant for inner or outer. This information has to be
known to properly set the ol_flags in mbuf.

This feature adds vhost pmd extended statistics from per port perspective
in order to meet the requirements of the applications such as OVS etc.
RX/TX xstats count the bytes without CRC. This is different from physical
NIC stats with CRC.
The statistics counters are based on RFC 2819 and RFC 2863 as follows:
rx/tx_good_packets
rx/tx_total_bytes
rx/tx_missed_pkts
rx/tx_broadcast_packets
rx/tx_multicast_packets
rx/tx_unicast_packets
rx/tx_undersize_errors
rx/tx_size_64_packets
rx/tx_size_65_to_127_packets;
rx/tx_size_128_to_255_packets;
rx/tx_size_256_to_511_packets;
rx/tx_size_512_to_1023_packets;
rx/tx_size_1024_to_1522_packets;
rx/tx_1523_to_max_packets;
rx/tx_errors
rx_fragmented_errors
rx_jabber_errors
rx_unknown_protos_packets;
No API is changed or added.
rte_eth_xstats_get_names() to retrieve what kinds of vhost xstats are
supported,
rte_eth_xstats_get() to retrieve vhost extended statistics,
rte_eth_xstats_reset() to reset vhost extended statistics.
The usage of vhost pmd xstats is the same as virtio pmd xstats.
for example, when test-pmd application is running in interactive mode
vhost pmd xstats will support the two following commands:
show port xstats all | port_id will show vhost xstats
clear port xstats all | port_id will reset vhost xstats
net/virtio pmd xstats(the function virtio_update_packet_stats) is used
as reference when implementing the feature.

Indirect descriptors are usually supported by virtio-net devices,
allowing to dispatch a larger number of requests.
When the virtio device sends a packet using indirect descriptors,
only one slot is used in the ring, even for large packets.
The main effect is to improve the 0% packet loss benchmark.
A PVP benchmark using Moongen (64 bytes) on the TE, and testpmd
(fwd io for host, macswap for VM) on DUT shows a +50% gain for
zero loss.
On the downside, micro-benchmark using testpmd txonly in VM and
rxonly on host shows a loss between 1 and 4%. But depending on
the needs, feature can be disabled at VM boot time by passing
indirect_desc=off argument to vhost-user device in Qemu.

There is not much to say about this patch, a lot of code is being removed.
The default configuration file for packet_ordering example is replaced with
the "native" x86 file.
The only tricky part is in eal_memory with the memseg index stuff.
More cleanups can be done after this but will come in subsequent patchsets.
