Use link speed from device capability instead of negotiated speeda
JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-151
link speed is used in gen and lat latency extrapolations.
Using a link_speed value lower than the actual link speed
might result in errors (e.g. negative latencies).
Negotiated link speed might be reported slowly (as reported through irq)
Hence it is better to use the device capability link speed.
In addition, this remove the check for link speed changes in fastpath.

Add support for counting non dataplane related packets
When performing some zero packet loss performance testing on dataplane, it
is important (not) to count non dataplane packets. For instance, one might
receive uexpected packets from a switch, or ARP packets. Or one might need
to transmit ARP packets. Such packets should not be counted as dataplane
packets as for thse packets there is no 1:1 mapping between transmitted
packets and received packets.
To support this, the counters reporting numbers of transmitted and received
packets remain unchanged but two new counters have been added to PROX,
counting respectively number of received and number of transmitted
non-dataplane packets.
On RX side, packets are counsidered as non-dataplane if being ARP or if
they do not countain the proper signature
On TX side, ARP packets are not considered as dataplane packets.

Workaround DPDK net/virtio queue setup issue
JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-127
PROX was crashing in the VM with vector mode enabled and multiple OVS
queues. This was not really a PROX bug, but a DPDK issue, which has been
fixed by DPDK commit https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=
efc83a1e7fc3
This "net/virtio: fix queue setup consistency" is included in DPDK 17.11
and subsequent versions, and has been backported into:
- DPDK 16.11.4:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=16.11&id=
516447a5056c
- DPDK 17.08.1:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=17.08&id=
907fe4fc263e
This means the fix is not included into any DPDK 17.02.x used by NSB.
Fortunately, a simple workaround consists of calling
rte_eth_tx_queue_setup() before rte_eth_rx_queue_setup().
This change implements this simple workaround, in order to make PROX
work, even with unfixed DPDK versions.

Increase default mbuf size and code simplification/cleanup
mbuf size was setup to achieve the best performance i.e.
using the smallest mbuf and not segmenting packets.
However this resulted in complex code, much dependent of the way
the pmd are working e.g. a change(fix) in recent dpdk i40e
implementation caused a 1782 (=1518+8+256) bytes mbuf to be too
small to hold a 1518 bytes packets.
Hence this change simplifies the mbuf size selection at the price
of a potential decreases in performance - as more memory is now used.
Except if jumbo frames are used, the mbuf size will now be the same
for all modes. The packets will not be segmented except if jumbo
frames are enabled.
If jumbo frames are enabled, packets are by default segmented, except
if the mbuf size is configured big enough in the config file.

Finally, setting mbuf_size does not set MEMPOOL_F_NO_SPREAD

Big packets can be received using two ways
- Using multiple "small" mbufs, i.e. around 2K. This is the default.
- Using one big mbuf holding the whole packet. This can be enabled
by setting a parameter mbuf_size in the receiving core configuration

The function abs_diff was erroneously changed to diff_or_zero.
This function was supposed to measure the difference between rx and
tx time; when rx time overflowed and tx time not yet (i.e.
rx time ~= 0 and tx_time ~=UINT32_MAX, this function added UINT32_MAX
