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

irq mode can be used to show how a core is interrupted by other tasks.
This mode does not handle packets. It only loops reading tsc.
When the difference between two consecutive calls to rdtsc() is high
then it means the core was interrupted.
This task implementes the display, so that we can see a histogram of
interrupts as well as the maximum, per core.
Command line is also supported, through "show irq buckets" (too show
the intervals of each buckets, in micrcoseconds), and the stats
command line (showing the number of items in each buckets and the max)..

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
