Add custom mac address option to vhost interfaces.
Generating a new MAC address everytime vpp reboots can quickly become cumbersome (e.g. in test scenarios). This commit allows vhost mac addresses to be configured manually. Change-Id: Ic6d16a2d14cdf8e49dc29041bbafde39d9fc8370 Signed-off-by: Pierre Pfister <ppfister@cisco.com>
