This commit implements TCP segmentation offload in TAP.
librte_gso library is used to segment large TCP payloads (e.g. packets
of 64K bytes size) into smaller MTU size buffers.
By supporting TSO offload capability in software a TAP device can be used
as a failsafe sub device and be paired with another PCI device which
supports TSO capability in HW.
For more details on librte_gso implementation please refer to dpdk
documentation.
The number of newly generated TCP TSO segments is limited to 64.
