acl-plugin: add whitelisted ethertype mode (VPP-1163)
Currently, ACL plugin largely does not care about the ethertypes other than 0x0800 (IPv4) and 0x86dd (IPv6), the only exception being 0x0806 (ARP), which is dealt with by the MACIP ACLs. The other ethertypes in L2 mode are just let through. This adds a new API message acl_interface_set_etype_whitelist, which allows to flip the mode of a given interface into "ethertype whitelist mode": the caller of this message must supply the two lists (inbound and outbound) of the ethertypes that are to be permitted, the rest of the ethertypes are dropped. The whitelisting for a given interface and direction takes effect only when a policy ACL is also applied. This operates on the same classifier node as the one used for dispatching the policy ACL, thus, if one wishes for most of the reasonable IPv4 deployments to continue to operate within the whitelist mode, they must permit ARP ethertype (0x0806) The empty list for a given direction resets the processing to allow the unknown ethertypes. So, if one wants to just permit the IPv4 and IPv6 and nothing else, one can add their ethertypes to the whitelist. Add the "show acl-plugin interface" corresponding outputs about the whitelists, vat command, and unittests.
