trex_learning: Add learning packet option to T-Rex testing
Adds packet learning option which is available on other Traffic generators as a feature. This adds this feature to the Trex implementation inside of VSPerf. JIRA: VSPERF-547 Change-Id: Iaf4d0721b22eb780c25e29295c112d4fcb47b22c Signed-off-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com>
