VPP-279: Document changes for vnet/vnet/devices
Add doxygen documentation for pcap tx trace CLI command. In the process of adding the documentation, made the following changes to the way the command worked: * If there is an error with any of the attributes, the whole command fails. The existing behavior was to apply attribute by attribute, then bail if there was an issue, with partial apply. * Move the 'on' processing to the end. The existing behavior was to process the 'on' as it was encountered on the commandline. That meant that any attributes after the 'on' in the commandline were saved and displayed, but not really being used in the packet trace. * Enhanced the 'status' to show all the configured attributes. NOTE: The packet capture has some weird behavior with regards to how many packets are written to file and if the file is appended or overwritten. VPP-634 written to document the issue.

+ * This command is used to start or stop a packet capture, or show
+ * the status of packet capture.
+ *
+ * This command has the following optional parameters:
+ *
+ * - <b>on|off</b> - Used to start or stop a packet capture.
+ *
+ * - <b>max <nn></b> - Depth of local buffer. Once '<em>nn</em>' number
+ * of packets have been received, buffer is flushed to file. Once another
+ * '<em>nn</em>' number of packets have been received, buffer is flushed
+ * to file, overwriting previous write. If not entered, value defaults
+ * to 100. Can only be updated if packet capture is off.
+ *
+ * - <b>intfc <interface>|any</b> - Used to specify a given interface,
+ * or use '<em>any</em>' to run packet capture on all interfaces.
+ * '<em>any</em>' is the default if not provided. Settings from a previous
+ * packet capture are preserved, so '<em>any</em>' can be used to reset
+ * the interface setting.
+ *
+ * - <b>file <name></b> - Used to specify the output filename. The file will
+ * be placed in the '<em>/tmp</em>' directory, so only the filename is
+ * supported. Directory should not be entered. If file already exists, file
+ * will be overwritten. If no filename is provided, '<em>/tmp/vpe.pcap</em>'
+ * will be used. Can only be updated if packet capture is off.
+ *
+ * - <b>status</b> - Displays the current status and configured attributes
+ * associated with a packet capture. If packet capture is in progress,
+ * '<em>status</em>' also will return the number of packets currently in
+ * the local buffer. All additional attributes entered on command line
+ * with '<em>status</em>' will be ingnored and not applied.
+ *
+ * @cliexpar
+ * Example of how to display the status of a tx packet capture when off:
+ * @cliexstart{pcap tx trace status}
+ * max is 100, for any interface to file /tmp/vpe.pcap
+ * pcap tx capture is off...
+ * @cliexend
+ * Example of how to start a tx packet capture:
+ * @cliexstart{pcap tx trace on max 35 intfc GigabitEthernet0/8/0 file vppTest.pcap}
+ * pcap tx capture on...
+ * @cliexend
+ * Example of how to display the status of a tx packet capture in progress:
+ * @cliexstart{pcap tx trace status}
+ * max is 35, for interface GigabitEthernet0/8/0 to file /tmp/vppTest.pcap
+ * pcap tx capture is on: 20 of 35 pkts...
+ * @cliexend
+ * Example of how to stop a tx packet capture:
+ * @cliexstart{vppctl pcap tx trace off}
+ * captured 21 pkts...
+ * saved to /tmp/vppTest.pcap...
