This change splits the mbuf in two to move the pool and next pointers to
the second cache line. This frees up 16 bytes in first cache line.
The reason for this change is that we believe that there is no possible
way that we can ever fit all the fields we need to fit into a 64-byte
mbuf, and so we need to start looking at a 128-byte mbuf instead. Examples
of new fields that need to fit in, include -
* 32-bits more for filter information for support for the new filters in
the i40e driver (and possibly other future drivers)
* an additional 2-4 bytes for storing info on a second vlan tag to allow
drivers to support double Vlan/QinQ
* 4-bytes for storing a sequence number to enable out of order packet
processing and subsequent packet reordering
as well as potentially a number of other fields or splitting out fields
that are superimposed over each other right now, e.g. for the qos scheduler.
We also want to allow space for use by other non-Intel NIC drivers that may
be open-sourced to dpdk.org in the future too, where they support fields
and offloads that currently supported hardware doesn't.
If we accept the fact of a 2-cache-line mbuf, then the issue becomes
how to rework things so that we spread our fields over the two
cache lines while causing the lowest slow-down possible. The general
approach that we are looking to take is to focus the first cache
line on fields that are updated on RX , so that receive only deals
with one cache line. The second cache line can be used for application
data and information that will only be used on the TX leg. This would
allow us to work on the first cache line in RX as now, and have the
second cache line being prefetched in the background so that it is
available when necessary. Hardware prefetches should help us out
here. We also may move rarely used, or slow-path RX fields e.g. such
as those for chained mbufs with jumbo frames, to the second
cache line, depending upon the performance impact and bytes savings
achieved.

Add markers or "labels" at given points inside the mbuf which can be
used instead of individual fields to identify the start of logical
sections inside the mbuf.
The use of typedefs and dummy fields was chosen over using unions
because of a couple reasons:
* unions cause an extra level of indentation (more likely two levels as
a union containing a struct for multiple fields would be needed). This
makes the lines longer than they need to be and increases the need for
wrapping. [This was the main reason]
* with markers, you can apply multiple markers at the same point if
wanted.

* Reorder the fields in the mbuf so that we have fields that are used
together side-by-side in the structure. This means that we have a
contiguous block of 8-bytes in the mbuf which are used to reset an mbuf
of descriptor rearm, and a block of 16-bytes of data (excluding flags)
which are set on RX from the received packet descriptor.
* Use dummy fields as appropriate to ensure alignment or to reserve gaps
for later field additions.
* Place most items which are not used by fast-path RX separately at the end
of the structure so they can later be moved to a separate cache line.
[The l2/l3 length fields are not moved at this stage as doing so will
cause overflow to the next cache line].

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

Since all unspecified fields in an initializer are assumed to be zero we
can simplify the empty mbuf definition in the vector driver to only use
the fields that are non-zero, i.e. just nb_segs = 1. This makes things
shorter and means that the structure doesn't need as many updates for
other fields being renamed or moved.
The variable itself is never modified and only used by a single function
so it can be made const and local to the using function.
