1, VF Daemon (VFD)
VFD is an idea to control all the VFs from PF.
As we need to support the scenario kernel PF + DPDK VF, DPDK follows
the interface between kernel PF + kernel VF.
We don't want to introduce too many new messages between PF and VF.
So this patch set adds some new APIs to control VFs directly from PF.
The new APIs include,
1) set VF MAC anti-spoofing
2) set VF VLAN anti-spoofing
3) set TX loopback
4) set VF unicast promiscuous mode
5) set VF multicast promiscuous mode
6) set VF MTU
7) get/reset VF stats
8) set VF MAC address
9) set VF VLAN stripping
10) VF VLAN insertion
12) set VF broadcast mode
13) set VF VLAN tag
14) set VF VLAN filter
VFD also includes VF to PF mailbox message management by APP.
When PF receives mailbox messages from VF, PF should call the
callback provided by APP to know if they're permitted to be
processed.

Please aware VFD is an EXPERIMENTAL feature, it can be changed,
or even removed, without prior notice.

2, Implement VF MAC address setting on VF.

v10:
- some minor change of the doc and comments.
- add the NIC check in the private APIs.

v9:
- upadte the doc and announce VFD is an experimental feature.

v8:
- remove unnecessary VF check.
- add more debug logs.
- split VMDq related code to a separate patch set.
- some minor change.

v7:
- fix 32 bit compile error in patch 23.
- add new patches to configure VMDq.

v6:
- remove the support of DPDK PF + kernel VF. Will create a new patch set for it.
- reword the tittles of some patches.
- add sanity check for vsi, and other minor change.

v5:
- fix testpmd build error(s)
- fix i40e vf_rx_vlan
- remove redundant memset on dev_info
- add functions to .map file sorted

v4:
- rebase on latest next-net
- move patch 10/29 testpmd part to patch 18/29

v3:
- fix issue that VF does not work for i40e
- remove patch for VDMq receive mode init
- move get/reset VF stats API into rte_pmd_i40

v2:
- fix the compile issues.
- fix the checkpatch warning and typo.
- update the commit log of some patches.
- fix the invalid port ID issue of testpmd.
