Implement support of 'insmod' and 'modprobe' commands into ModuleManager

Module manager has been enhanced to support both 'insmod' and 'modprobe'
commands for kernel module insertion. In case, that .ko suffix is detected
then insmod will be used otherwise modprobe will be called. This allows
user to specify full path to each module. For example vanilla ovs module
can be defined as "OVS_DIR_VANILLA + 'datapath/linux/openvswitch.ko'"
to load kernel module matching OVS vanilla source tree version.

Add DNAT/SNAT support

JIRA: VSPERF-72

This change adds optional IPv4 DNAT support to l2fwd module for level two
forwarding. With this change the l2fwd module can be used for testing
complex IP configuration routing with virtual switches.

Other L2 forwarding modules provide only Level 2 pass through. These can be
used for complex IP chain processing but rely on port forwarding in the switch.
With this module each packet which is forwarded optionally gets a new
destination IP and source masquerade. So a test packet can be routed to eth1
and forwarded on eth2 with a different target IP and source address.

To use this module compile it for your kernel and use the 'insmod' command
to insert it.

With no arguments this will forward eth1 to eth2 without modification.

With 'net1=ethX net2=ethX' Level 2 forwarding can be done between arbitrary
ports.

With 'netX=ethX,XX.XX.XX.XX,xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx' the packets which are forwarded
on the target port will be given the new destination IP and mac address. One
or both ports may enable DNAT.

framework: Add reworked framework to repo

This commit adds the vSwitch Integration Test Framework whose
design, based off TOIT, is outlined in the HLD previously made
availiable to the community for review.

The design of this framework allows developers to add different
implementations of components, specifically vSwitches, Traffic
Generators, Metrics Collectors and VNFs, easily.

The goal of this design is that all testcases should run regardless of
what is "under the hood".

This commit adds support for running the framework for a phy to phy
RFC2544 testcase only. More testcases will be added by the community.

vSwitches supported at this time:
* Intel DPDK (r) accelerated OpenvSwitch

Traffic Generators supported at this time:
* IxNet - IxNetwork Implementation
* Ixia - IxExplorer Implementation
* Dummy - Manual Implementation

Metrics Collectors supported at this time:
* Linux Metrics

No VNFs are supported at this time but the framework outlines how they
should be integrated and provides APIs for them to adhere to.
