When applying ACEs, in the new hash-based scheme, for each ACE
the lookup in the hash table is done, and either that ACE is added
to the end of the existing list if there is a match,
or a new list is created if there is no match.
Usually ACEs do not overlap, so this operation is fast, however,
the fragment-permit entries in case of a large number of ACLs
create a huge list which needs to be traversed for every other
ACE being added, slowing down the process dramatically.
The solution is to add an explicit flag to denote the first
element of the chain, and use the "prev" index of that
element to point to the tail element. The "next" field
of the last element is still ~0 and if we touch that
one, we do the linear search to find the first one,
but that is a relatively infrequent operation.

Add a bihash-based ACL lookup mechanism and make it a new default.
This changes the time required to lookup a 5-tuple match
from O(total_N_entries) to O(total_N_mask_types), where
"mask type" is an overall mask on the 5-tuple required
to represent an ACE.
For testing/comparison there is a temporary debug CLI
"set acl-plugin use-hash-acl-matching {0|1}", which,
when set to 0, makes the plugin use the "old" linear lookup,
and when set to 1, makes it use the hash-based lookup.
Based on the discussions on vpp-dev mailing list,
prevent assigning the ACL index to an interface,
when the ACL with that index is not defined,
also prevent deleting an ACL if that ACL is applied.
Also, for the easier debugging of the state, there are
new debug CLI commands to see the ACL plugin state at
several layers:
"show acl-plugin acl [index N]" - show a high-level
ACL representation, used for the linear lookup and
as a base for building the hashtable-based lookup.
Also shows if a given ACL is applied somewhere.
"show acl-plugin interface [sw_if_index N]" - show
which interfaces have which ACL(s) applied.
"show acl-plugin tables" - a lower-level debug command
used to see the state of all of the related data structures
at once. There are specifiers possible, which make
for a more focused and maybe augmented output:
"show acl-plugin tables acl [index N]"
show the "bitmask-ready" representations of the ACLs,
we well as the mask types and their associated indices.
"show acl-plutin tables mask"
show the derived mask types and their indices only.
"show acl-plugin tables applied [sw_if_index N]"
show the table of all of the ACEs applied for a given
sw_if_index or all interfaces.
"show acl-plugin tables hash [verbose N]"
show the 48x8 bihash used for the ACL lookup.
