In order to support the 9K MTU the MPRQ feature should be updated
to allow a packet to take more than one stride (single linear buffer).
Receiving a packet into multiple adjacent strides should be implemented.
The reason preventing the packet to be received into multiple strides is
that the data buffer must be preceded with some HEAD_ROOM space.
In the current implementation the HEAD_ROOM space is borrowed by the PMD
from the tail of the preceding stride. If packet takes multiple strides
the tail of stride may be overwritten with a packet data and the memory
can't be borrowed to provide the HEAD_ROOM space for the next packet.
Special care is needed to prevent the HEAD_ROOM corruption as such:
- copy a whole packet into a separate memory buffer if scatter is off
- copy an overlapping data only and craft a multi-segment mbuf otherwise
After multi-stride support for packets receiving is in place it is
possible to reduce the stride size for more efficient memory utilization.
Introduce the mprq_log_stride_size device parameter to configure
a stride size for MPRQ. Default stride size is set to 2048 bytes.

v2: https://patchwork.dpdk.org/cover/67670/
merge documentation and implementation in one commit
v3: rollback to the simple burst Rx in case the packet size is too big
to fit into the stride and the mprq_log_stride_size is not configured
