[RFC] ethdev: introduce ethdev dump API

Added the ethdev dump API which provides functions for query private info
from device. There exists many private properties in different PMD drivers,
such as adapter state, Rx/Tx func algorithm in hns3 PMD. The information of
these properties is important for debug. As the information is private,
the new API is introduced.
