libmemif: refactor examples

- icmp_responder: responds to ICMPv4 and ARP requests
- loopback: connects two interfaces and sends a
  verification packet from master memif to slave memif
  where it is looped back
- loopback (reverse path): reverses direction of packet
  in loopback application (slave memif to master memif)

Type: refactor

-   LIBMEMIF EXAMPLE APP: icmp_responder_example
-   ==============================
-   libmemif version: 4.0, memif version: 2.0
-   ==============================
-   In this example, memif endpoint connects to an external application.
-   The example application can resolve ARP and reply to ICMPv4 packets.
-   The program will exit once the interface is disconnected.
-   ==============================
-   Usage: icmp_responder [OPTIONS]
-
-   Options:
-           -r      Interface role <slave|master>. Default: slave
-           -s      Socket path. Supports abstract socket using @ before the path. Default: /run/vpp/memif.sock
-           -i      Interface id. Default: 0
-           -a      IPv4 address. Default: 192.168.1.1

-Example setup
-=============
-
-VPP-memif master icmp_responder slave
--------------------------------------
-
-   Libmemif example app(s) use memif default socket file:
-   ``/run/vpp/memif.sock``.
-
-Run VPP and icmpr-epoll example (default example when running in
-container).
-
-   Other examples work similar to icmpr-epoll. Brief explanation can be
-   found in :ref:`libmemif_examples_doc` .
-
-VPP-side config:
-
-::
-
-   DBGvpp# create interface memif id 0 master
-   DBGvpp# set int state memif0/0 up
-   DBGvpp# set int ip address memif0/0 192.168.1.1/24
-
-icmpr-epoll:
-
-::
-
-   conn 0 0
-
-Memif in slave mode will try to connect every 2 seconds. If connection
-establishment is successful, a message will show.
-
-::
-
-   INFO: memif connected!
-
-..
-
-   Error messages like “unmatched interface id” are printed only in
-   debug mode.
-
-Check connected status. Use show command in icmpr-epoll:
-
-::
-
-   show

-Examples
-========
+Libmemif Examples
+=================
 
-After build, root folder will contain scripts linking binary examples
-with library (same name as example apps). These scripts can be executed
-to run example apps without installing the library. Example apps
-binaries can be found in *libs* folder. To run binaries directly, make
-sure that libmemif library is installed.
+Example source code is located in `.../vpp/extras/libmemif/examples/` directory.
+The compiled binaries are located in `.../vpp/extras/libmemif/build/examples/`.
 
-Run in container
-----------------
 
-``ligato/libmemif-sample-service`` image contains built and installed
-libmemf. To run different examples, override docker CMD to start
-container in bash:
+ICMP Responder
+--------------
+**Application Source Code**: `.../vpp/extras/libmemif/examples/icmp_responder`
 
-::
+In this example, memif endpoint connects to an external application. The example
+application can resolve ARP and reply to ICMPv4 packets. The program will exit
+once the interface is disconnected Memif receive mode: interrupt.
 
-   # docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/bash -i --rm --name icmp-responder --hostname icmp-responder --privileged -v "/run/vpp/:/run/vpp/" ligato/libmemif-sample-service
+VPP (memif master) <--> icmp_responder app (memif slave)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+Start VPP and configure memif interface::
 
-Current WORKDIR is set to root repository directory. Example apps can be
-run from this directory (a script linking binary with library), or
-browse to ``./.libs`` folder and execute binary directly.
+    make run
+    ...
+    DBGvpp# create interface memif id 0 master
+    DBGvpp# set int state memif0/0 up
+    DBGvpp# set int ip address memif0/0 192.168.1.2/24
 
-* ``extras/libmemif/examples/icmp_responder``
+Start icmp_responder example app::
 
-Simplest implementation. Event polling is handled by libmemif.
-Single memif connection in slave mode is created (id 0). Use Ctrl + C to exit app.
-Memif receive mode: interrupt.
+    ./examples/icmp_responder
 
-* ``extras/libmemif/examples/icmp_responder-epoll``  (run in container by default)
+Memif in slave mode will try to connect every 2 seconds. If connection
+establishment is successful, the `memif connected` message will show::
 
-Supports multiple connections and master mode. User can create/delete connections, set ip addresses,
-print connection information. :ref:`libmemif_example_setup_doc` contains instructions on basic
-connection use cases setups. Memif receive mode: interrupt. App provides functionality to disable
-interrupts for specified queue/s for testing purposes. Polling mode is not implemented in this example.
+    INFO: memif connected!
 
-* ``extras/libmemif/examples/icmp_responder-mt``
+**Note**: Error messages like "unmatched interface id" are printed only in debug mode.
 
-Multi-thread example, very similar to icmpr-epoll. Packets are handled in threads assigned to specific queues. Slave mode only. Memif receive mode: polling (memif_rx_poll function), interrupt (memif_rx_interrupt function). Receive modes differ per queue.
+Verify that the memif is connected on VPP side::

+Loopback
+--------
+**Application Source Code**: `.../vpp/extras/libmemif/examples/loopback`
+
+In this example, two memif endpoints are connected to create a loopback.
+Once connected, a test packet is sent out the memif master interface to
+the memif slave interface, which replies with the same packet in a
+zero-copy way.
+In reverse mode, the packet is sent from the slave interface and is
+looped back by the master interface.
