A set of tests was introduced with focus on L3, L4 and VxLAN performance
of OVS and VPP. New testcases were created for phy2phy network scenario.
In case of PVP and PVVP, only OVS testcases are available.
Notes:
* two sets of OVS P2P testcases were created, one creates unique flow
for each IP address involved in the test (performance sensitive);
Second set inserts just one flow with large network mask (tests with
_mask suffix).
* three different types of VPP P2P L3 testcases were created to
demonstrate performance impact of multi ARP entries or IP routes.
* VPP multi ARP record based testcases use a set of "workarounds"
to load a large number of ARP entries. It is not possible to use
"set ip arp count" syntax, as it doesn't work well for large count
values (e.g. 60K)
* OVS VxLAN testcases utilize existing OP2P deployment scenario and thus
it can be used also with GRE and GENEVE tunnel types. Tunnel type
to be used is defined by test configuration option "Tunnel Type".

A set of improvements was introduced to enhance step driven
testcases capabilities.
Details:
* delay among test steps is configurable by TEST_STEP_DELAY
parameter
* step driven tool function exec was renamed to exec_shell
* new step driven tool function exec_python was introduced to execute
a python code
* new step driven object sleep was introduced to pause test execution
for defined number of seconds.
* fixed bug in settings.validate_getValue() to correctly validate
access of parameters modified by TEST_PARAMS
* new #PARAM() macro was introduced to allow references among
configuration parameters
* multistream support has been added into ixnetrfc2544v2.tcl,
which is used for tunneling protocols test (op2p deployment)
* fixed bug in op2p deployment to list interfaces and flows
from both bridges involved in the test
* test report updated to state exact rfcxxxx type of traffic
type, e.g. rfc2544_continuous
* test report of step driven testcases was updated to contain
measured values from traffic generator in CSV report
* method for ovs flow comparison was modified to normalize
IPv4 CIDR network addr (e.g. 10.0.0.5/8 => 10.0.0.0/8)

This patch is used to implement the mechanism to pass extra qemu
cpu options required to achieve better results/performance. Also
used to implement a mechanism to pin the vCPU threads to another
pCPU core which helps in reducing the noise from housekeeping
thread and packet loss.

VSPERF makefiles were updated to automatically download and compile
VPP. VPP will not be installed into the OS, but it will be executed
from VSPERF's src subdirectory. Thus underlying OS is not affected
by VPP build required by VSPERF. It also allows quick switch among
different versions of various tools used by VSPERF.
As part of this patch, VERIFY and MERGE CI jobs were updated to
build VPP and test it with basic set of integration tests.

For some testcases it is useful to have only one connection between
traffic generator and DUT. Thus IxNet class was extended to support
such connection. Feature is enabled if both IXIA ports are set to
the same value.
New integration testcase ixnet_pvp_tput_1nic was created to demonstrate
this feature.
Unused code was removed from 3rd_party/ixia/ixnetrfc2544.tcl to simplify
introduction of new features and to speed up IXIA configuration.

During testing it is sometimes useful to generate pure L2 traffic
without L3 or L4 related headers. IxNetwork TCL script was updated
to support this option.
Generic TRAFFIC array was enhanced by on/off switch for L3 and L4
headers. Thus it can be implemented by other traffic generators
in the future, if this feature will prove itself useful.

Support of VPP was implemented into VSPERF. Initial implementation
uses step driven testcases to configure P2P, PVP and PVVP network
scenarios. These testcases were prepared for three RFC2544 traffic
types, i.e. throughput, continuous stream and back to back.
VPP configuration is driven by new configuration option VSWITCH_VPP_ARGS.
It is possible to use three types of l2 port connection supported
by VPP, i.e. l2 xconnect (default), l2patch and l2 bridge features.
Configuration is driven by parameter VSWITCH_VPP_L2_CONNECT_MODE.

Traffic generated by traffic generator is based on default
values and their modifications specific to particular testing
scenario. Traffic default values were defined inside VSPERF
code and it was not possible to change them. This patch introduces
new TRAFFIC dictionary inside 03_traffic.conf. Thus user can
modify any of TRAFFIC values either in configuration file
or by CLI or by 'Parameters' section of testcase definition.
Following CLI options were obsoleted by this patch:
'bidirectional', 'traffic_type', 'iload', 'multistream',
'stream_type' and 'pre-installed_flows'
Following CLI option was renamed to be consistent with other options:
'tunnel_type' => 'TUNNEL_TYPE'
Following sections of testcase definition were obsoleted:
"Traffic Type", "biDirectional", "MultiStream", "Stream Type",
"Pre-installed Flows", "Flow Type" and "iLoad"
New TRAFFIC dictionary should be used instead of old CLI options
and old testcase definition sections. Testcase definitons,
yardstick sample testcases and documentation were updated to reflect
configuration changes.
