[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] app/testpmd: do not enable Rx offloads by default

Removed the hardcoded preconfigured Rx offload configuration from
testpmd.
Testers who wish to use these offloads will now have to explicitly
write them in the command-line when running testpmd.

Motivation:
Some PMDs such at the mlx4 may not implement all the offloads.
After the offload API rework assuming no offload is enabled by default,
  commit ce17eddefc20 ("ethdev: introduce Rx queue offloads API")
  commit cba7f53b717d ("ethdev: introduce Tx queue offloads API") trying
to enable a not supported offload is clearly an error which will cause
configuration failing.

Considering that testpmd is an application to test the PMD, it should
not fail on a configuration which was not explicitly requested.
The behavior of this test application is then turned to an opt-in
model.
