mbuf size was setup to achieve the best performance i.e.
using the smallest mbuf and not segmenting packets.
However this resulted in complex code, much dependent of the way
the pmd are working e.g. a change(fix) in recent dpdk i40e
implementation caused a 1782 (=1518+8+256) bytes mbuf to be too
small to hold a 1518 bytes packets.
Hence this change simplifies the mbuf size selection at the price
of a potential decreases in performance - as more memory is now used.
Except if jumbo frames are used, the mbuf size will now be the same
for all modes. The packets will not be segmented except if jumbo
frames are enabled.
If jumbo frames are enabled, packets are by default segmented, except
if the mbuf size is configured big enough in the config file.

L2fwd and swap has many options to set src mac. swap was supposed
to support the ability to use port mac, but config file parsing was
wrong. L2fwd was using port mac if a port was available and if
src mac=packet or if there was no src mac in the config.
Now l2fwd supports the following options
- "src mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" => this mac address is used as src mac.
- "src mac=packet" => the src mac is taken from the dst mac of the
received packet.
- "src mac=hw" => the src mac is taken from the mac address of the port,
if there is a physical port. Error otherwise.
- "src mac=no" => src mac kept untouched
- No "src mac" => same as "src mac=hw" if there is a physical port
and same as "src mac=packet" otherwise.
Default is (no "src mac") hence the mac is taken from the tx port if there
is one tx port and from the packet otherwise.
swap support is similar, except that it does not support "src mac=no".

JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-55
PROX is a DPDK-based application implementing Telco use-cases such as
a simplified BRAS/BNG, light-weight AFTR... It also allows configuring
finer grained network functions like QoS, Routing, load-balancing...
(We are moving PROX version v039 to sampleVNF
