CLI: add Multiqueue params.

This patch implements the following new CLI parameters that
can be used in the --test-params list.

 1. guest_nic_queues, which overrides all GUEST_NIC_QUEUES values
 2. guest_testpmd_txq, which overrides all GUEST_TESTPMD_TXQ
 3. guest_testpmd_rxq, which overrides all GUEST_TESTPMD_RXQ
 4. guest_testpmd_nb_cores, which overrides all GUEST_TESTPMD_NB_CORES
    values
 5. guest_testpmd_cpu_mask, which overrides all GUEST_TESTPMD_CPU_MASK
    values
 6. vswitch_dpdk_multi_queues, which overrides VSWITCH_DPDK_MULTI_QUEUES
 7. guest_smp, which overrides all GUEST_SMP values
 8. guest_core_binding, which overrides all GUEST_CORE_BINDING values

When they are present in the CLI the corresponding settings from the
configuration files will be overridden.

As an example a usage can be:
./vsperf --test-params "guest_nic_queues=2;guest_testpmd_txq=1;\
guest_testpmd_rxq=1;guest_testpmd_nb_cores=1"...

v2: rebase + rework to add other CLI params as suggested and update doc.
v3: changes in 'testusage.rst' doc.

integration_cleanup: Force testcase cleanup to always run

During testcase development on the integration side, if
namespaces are used or veth ports and an exception is raised.
The namespaces and veth ports are not properly cleanup up
because the run_finalize does not get executed.

This patch wraps the testing block in a try block where
a finally will ALWAYS execute the run_finalize thus
preventing the possiblity of leftover testing artifacts.
