dpdk: Support new way of DPDK configuration in ovs-vswitchd
Configuration of DPDK options in ovs-vswitchd has changed. Previously used option --dpdk was deprecated and all DPDK related options have to be configured through ovsdb via ovs-vsctl calls. VSPERF was modified to detect and use correct version of DPDK configuration. New configuration options should be put into VSWITCHD_DPDK_CONFIG dictionary. VSPERF classes specific to OVS were refactored.
