[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 7/9] ethdev: new API to get representor info

The NIC can have multiple PCIe links and can be attached to multiple
hosts, for example the same single NIC can be shared for multiple server
units in the rack. On each PCIe link NIC can provide multiple PFs and
VFs/SFs based on these ones. The full representor identifier consists of
three indices - controller index, PF index, and VF or SF index (if any).

This patch introduces a new API rte_eth_representor_info_get() to
retrieve representor corresponding info mapping:
 - caller controller index and pf index.
 - supported representor ID ranges.
 - type, controller, pf and start vf/sf ID of each range.
The API is useful to convert representor from devargs to representor ID.

New ethdev callback representor_info_get() is added to retrieve info
from PMD driver, optional for PMD that doesn't support new devargs
representor syntax.
