Subject: Trex_speed_improvement: Add logic for dealing with high speed cards
Adds configuration options and logic to detect maximum supported
speed of T-Rex server side cards.
1. Adds logic to pull maximum supported speed from port info
2. Adds forcable option to have user specify maximum speed
3. If logic cannot detect speed from port_info because it is
not available or the forcable option is not set it will
assume 10G speeds.
4. Tested on Intel XXV25G and Mellanox ConnectX-5 cards
5. Added packet structure logging to show packet info for
better debugging capabilities
6. Adds core mask to take advantage of multiple cores if
server is started with more than default number of cores
7. Adds packets lost logging to RFC2544 Throughput testing
JIRA: VSPERF-559
