Performance: DPDK refactor

+ Rework BASH scripts (more code to python).
+ Move BASH into libraries.
+ Allows RDMA usage.
+ Fix 9000B tests.
+ Rename confusing l2fwd -> testpmd.
+ Fix suite setup.
+ Fix PCI whitelist to not accidentally pickup wrong interface.
+ Fix deprecated DPDK cli arguments.

- MLX5 jumbo are disabled on NIC (i will increase separately).
  https://jenkins.fd.io/job/csit-dpdk-perf-verify-master-2n-clx/6/console (l3fwd still broken)
- MLX5 IMIX seems to be some TRex issue with IMIX for mlx5 (i will handle separately)
