testpmd: Simplify GUEST's testpmd configuration
Testpmd has a lot of parameters and vsperf was able to modify only a few of them through dedicated GUEST's specific configuration options. Old configuration options were replaced by one generic GUEST_TESTPMD_PARAMS, which allows to modify any of existing testpmd parameters. Detection of testpmd execution was changed to be independent on TXQ flags setting. Documentation was modified to reflect GUEST_TESTPMD change. Also doc formatting was fixed at several places.
