vpp_device: bind to vfio-pci before running tests

In rare cases, binding the whole /dev/vfio folder will result in
unusable VFs:
notice dpdk EAL: Cannot open /dev/vfio/151: Device or resource busy

[0], section 4.3.1. provides some clues as to what's going on and how to
avoid the failure. Mounting /dev/vfio reset the file descriptors of all
devices under /dev/vfio. Vfio-pci creates a device when an interface is
bound to it. The rare failure then occurs when /dev/vfio is mounted
while a process is using the file descriptors result in that process
using invalid file descriptors (or file descriptors belonging to a
different VF).

Fix the issue by binding i40e and ice VFs to vfio-pci before containers
are created and make sure that the VFs are not unbound later in testing.
Only bind DUT VFs since the TG uses the kernel driver.
