Update pmd/lcore mask for OVS-DPDK context
Added default values for pmd/lcore mask to the SampleVNF test case for
Trex TG.
lcore mask - specifies the CPU cores used for non-datapath OVS-DPDK
threads.
pmd mask - specifies the CPU cores used for data path packet processing.
Updated documentation for Standalone OVS-DPDK context.
