tests: add enhanced packet counter verification

Add support for inline packet counter verification to send_and_* functions.

Diff dictionary is a dictionary of dictionaries of interesting stats:

    diff_dictionary =
    {
        "err" : { '/error/counter1' : 4, },
        sw_if_index1 : { '/stat/segment/counter1' : 5,
                         '/stat/segment/counter2' : 6,
                       },
        sw_if_index2 : { '/stat/segment/counter1' : 7,
                       },
    }

It describes a per sw-if-index diffset, where each key is stat segment
path and value is the expected change for that counter for sw-if-index.
Special case string "err" is used for error counters.

This then allows more precise packet counter verification by first
defining a "zero" dictionary, e.g. for ED NAT:

        cls.no_diff = StatsDiff({
            pg.sw_if_index: {
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/fastpath/tcp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/fastpath/udp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/fastpath/icmp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/fastpath/drops': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/slowpath/tcp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/slowpath/udp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/slowpath/icmp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/slowpath/drops': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/fastpath/tcp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/fastpath/udp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/fastpath/icmp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/fastpath/drops': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/slowpath/tcp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/slowpath/udp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/slowpath/icmp': 0,
                '/nat44-ed/in2out/slowpath/drops': 0,
            }
            for pg in cls.pg_interfaces
        })

and then to specify only changed counters directly when calling
one of send_and_* functions:

        self.send_and_assert_no_replies(
            self.pg0, pkts, msg="i2o pkts",
            stats_diff=self.no_diff | {
                "err": {
                    '/err/nat44-ed-in2out-slowpath/out of ports': len(pkts),
                },
                self.pg0.sw_if_index: {
                    '/nat44-ed/in2out/slowpath/drops': len(pkts),
                },
            }
        )

operator | is overloaded by StatsDiff class to perform a deep merge operation,
so in above case, dictionaries for "err" and self.pg0.sw_if_index do not
overwrite whole sub-dictionaries, rather the contents are merged,
assuring that all the remaining counters are verified to be zero.
