Upgrade autogen to NICs and search types

+ All perf suites updated, as autogen change is backward incompatible.
+ Only x710 -ndrpdr suites remain in git repository.
+ Removed retry feature of run_tests.
+ Renamed topology_type and traffic_type to traffic_profile.
+ Renamed framesize to frame_size; nic_model to nic_name.
+ Reordered Variables table to start with nic_name and overhead.
+ Fixed wrong overhead value in some cbc-sha1 suites.
+ Fixed some suite tags.
++ Introduced tags to distinguish suites, such as IPSECINT.
+ Bound crypto hardware to NIC name.
+ Implemented NIC limit hiding.
+ Also search and teardown related arguments are now hidden.
+ Main measurement keywords updated to new arg handling.
+ Max rate related keywords moved to performance_limits.robot
+ Teardowns unified.
+ Generated tests are archived.
++ Generated directory is .gitignore-d.
+ Regenerator raises an exception on seeing non-compatible suite.
++ Relatively helpful message should be seen in exception.
+ Suite and template Documentation has generated parts.
+- With short NIC names only.
+ Autogen checker also upgraded.
+ Tag expressions replaced with long files to ensure analogous tests.
