RX packets count = TX count + dropped (handled + discarded) count +
non dataplane packets count.
Hence non dataplane packets such as unexpected packets (e.g. dhcp request)
should not b considerded as handled.

When performing some zero packet loss performance testing on dataplane, it
is important (not) to count non dataplane packets. For instance, one might
receive uexpected packets from a switch, or ARP packets. Or one might need
to transmit ARP packets. Such packets should not be counted as dataplane
packets as for thse packets there is no 1:1 mapping between transmitted
packets and received packets.
To support this, the counters reporting numbers of transmitted and received
packets remain unchanged but two new counters have been added to PROX,
counting respectively number of received and number of transmitted
non-dataplane packets.
On RX side, packets are counsidered as non-dataplane if being ARP or if
they do not countain the proper signature
On TX side, ARP packets are not considered as dataplane packets.
This feature requires configuration of signature.
"dp core stats" command has been added

Detect, remember and skip bad/unexpected packets:
- too short to hold the latency-related values
- with bad signature
- with invalid generator_id
using a uint64_t-based bitmap.
Also moved variable declarations closer to usage,
added some likely/unlikely hints,
reworked some return statements, and
fixed 32-bit overflow (every ~4s) of rx_time_err computation.

When link is down at startup, the link_speed returned by DPDK
is 0. This results in un-optimized latency estimates in gen and lat.
With this fix, lat and gen do nothing until link_speed is
properly initialized, and use the right link speed in the fast path.

Makefile checks for some coding style rules.
Previous commit introduced trailing white-spaces, which broke
compilation.

Revert back part of commit 9fa316261d7d9
The function abs_diff was erroneously changed to diff_or_zero.
This function was supposed to measure the difference between rx and
tx time; when rx time overflowed and tx time not yet (i.e.
rx time ~= 0 and tx_time ~=UINT32_MAX, this function added UINT32_MAX
to rx_time. The name of the function was confusing and caused the
previous commit. Net effect of previous commit was that every four seconds
the minimum latency was 0
This commit reverse back to the original behavior, with a function name
diff_time.

Link_speed could be null when prox started with the ports down.
This was potentially causing a crash.
Another task will need to update link speed when the port come
up. Failing to do this results in less accurate latencies
(no extrapolation)

- Also changed lat_info.tx_packet_index to uint64_t,
so also did it for task_lat.prev_tx_packet_index and n_loss.
- Adjusted format strings accordingly, and fixed some other formats.
- Adjusted overflow increment to 2^32 (i.e. UINT32_MAX + 1).
- Replaced hard-coded 64 with ACCURACY_BUFFER_SIZE (still hard-coded
in handle_gen.c).

When doing latency measurements PROX takes into account the
generation or reception of a bulk of packets. For instance, if
PROX receives at time T 4 packets, it knows that the first
packet was received by te NIC before T (the time to receive the other
3 packets, as they were received at maximum link speed).
So the latency data is decreased by the minimum time to receive those
3 packets.
For this PROX was using a default link speed of 10Gbps. This is wrong
for 1Gbps and 40Gbps networks, and was causing for instance issues
on 40 Gbps networks as extrapolating too much, resulting in either
too low latencies or negative numbers (visible as very high latencies).

When doing latency measurements the generator can add a
32 bits signature in the packet at a specific location,
so that the receiver only uses the packets generated by the
generator and ignores packets generated for instance by a switch
The is particuly important for latency measurements as we use
data in the packets as timestamps, and packets generated elsewhere
would result in random latency for those packets.

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
