Adds Yardstick test case TC008, Network Performance Extended Tests

New test case using pktgen tool. Based on TC001, but with additional
packet sizes and more repetitions of each test combination,
respectively. Test case takes approx.3 hours to complete.

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose  | To evaluate the IaaS network performance with regards to     |
+|              | flows and throughput, such as if and how different amounts   |
+|              | of packet sizes and flows matter for the throughput between  |
+|              | VMs on different compute blades. Typically e.g. the          |
+|              | performance of a vSwitch                                     |
+|              | depends on the number of flows running through it. Also      |
+|              | performance of other equipment or entities can depend        |
+|              | on the number of flows or the packet sizes used.             |
+|              | The purpose is also to be able to spot trends. Test results, |
+|              | graphs ans similar shall be stored for comparison reasons and|
+|              | product evolution understanding between different OPNFV      |
+|              | versions and/or configurations.                              |

+|              | respectively. Each packet_size/port_amount combination is run|
+|              | ten times, for 20 seconds each. Then the next                |
+|              | packet_size/port_amount combination is run, and so on.       |
+|              |                                                              |
