Liang Ma 682a645438 power: add ethdev power management
Add a simple on/off switch that will enable saving power when no
packets are arriving. It is based on counting the number of empty
polls and, when the number reaches a certain threshold, entering an
architecture-defined optimized power state that will either wait
until a TSC timestamp expires, or when packets arrive.

This API mandates a core-to-single-queue mapping (that is, multiple
queued per device are supported, but they have to be polled on different
cores).

This design is using PMD RX callbacks.

1. UMWAIT/UMONITOR:

   When a certain threshold of empty polls is reached, the core will go
   into a power optimized sleep while waiting on an address of next RX
   descriptor to be written to.

2. TPAUSE/Pause instruction

   This method uses the pause (or TPAUSE, if available) instruction to
   avoid busy polling.

3. Frequency scaling
   Reuse existing DPDK power library to scale up/down core frequency
   depending on traffic volume.
