acl-plugin: rework the optimization 7383, fortify acl-plugin memory behavior (VPP-910)
The further prolonged testing from testbed that reported VPP-910
has uncovered a couple of deeper issues with optimization from
7384, and the usage of subscripts rather than vec_elt_at_index()
allowed to hide a couple of further errors in the code.
Also, the current acl-plugin behavior of using the global
heap for its dynamic data is problematic - it makes
the troubleshooting much harder by potentially spreading
the problem around.
Based on this experience, this commits makes a few changes to fix
the issues seen, also improving the serviceability of the acl-plugin
code for the future:
- Use separate mheaps for any ACL-related control plane
operations and separate for the hash lookup datastructures,
to compartmentalize any memory-related issues for the ACL plugin.
- Ensure vec_elt_at_index() usage throughout the hash_lookup.c file.
- Use vectors rather than raw memory for storing the "ordinary" ACL rules.
- Rework the optimization from 7384 to use a separate tail pointer
rather than overloading the "prev" field.
- Make get_session_ptr() more conservative and adjust is_valid_session_ptr
accordingly
