Subject: [PATCH v4] pmd/snow3g: add new SNOW 3G SW PMD

Added new SW PMD which makes use of the libsso SW library, which provides wireless algorithms SNOW 3G UEA2 and UIA2 in software.

This PMD supports cipher-only, hash-only and chained operations ("cipher then hash" and "hash then cipher") of the following
algorithms:
- RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_CIPHER_SNOW3G_UEA2
- RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_AUTH_SNOW3G_UIA2

The SNOW 3G hash and cipher algorithms, which are enabled by this crypto PMD are implemented by Intel's libsso software library. For library download and build instructions, see the documentation included (doc/guides/cryptodevs/snow3g.rst)

The patch also contains the related unit tests function to test the PMD supported operations.
