Xena_Flow_Fix: Fixes multistream of greater than 64k values
Adds calculations to deal with values greater than 64k by doing a square root of the multistream value and using two mods to create the closet possible value that will work within the current implementation of multistream in VSPerf. JIRA: VSPERF-575 Change-Id: I9dab4bbac094a394a11ed74fe2cd88fbe7079fc7 Signed-off-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com>

+Multistream Modifier
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Xena has a modifier maximum value or 64k in size. For this reason when specifying
+Multistream values of greater than 64k for Layer 2 or Layer 3 it will use two
+modifiers that may be modified to a value that can be square rooted to create the
+two modifiers. You will see a log notification for the new value that was calculated.
