Description
------------
-Create a host interface that will attach to a linux AF_PACKET interface, one side of a veth pair. The veth pair must already exist. Once created, a new host interface will exist in VPP with the name 'host-<*ifname*>', where '<*ifname*>' is the name of the specified veth pair. Use the `show interface` command to display host interface details.
