now startup.conf supports confuguration for VMBUS
devices as for PCI devices for whitelisting/blacklisting
dpdk { dev fa5a6e7a-cf3a-4b98-9569-addb479b84bc }
with sub-configuration as for PCI devices
dpdk { blacklist fa5a6e7a-cf3a-4b98-9569-addb479b84bc }
where fa5a6e7a-cf3a-4b98-9569-addb479b84bc - example of UUID
struct vlib_vmbus_addr_t changed to union with UUID described
fields
Added device_config_index_by_vmbus_addr
blacklist_by_vmbus_addr
to enumerate available device configs
hash_key is as_u32[0] field(last 4 bytes of UUID)
Lost of precision against full UUID, but 2^32 is enough
to handle all the devices available
Added is_blacklisted check while creating vnet devices in
order to supress creation of dev if it's blacklisted

The vlib init function subsystem now supports a mix of procedural and
formally-specified ordering constraints. We should eliminate procedural
knowledge wherever possible.
The following schemes are *roughly* equivalent:
static clib_error_t *init_runs_first (vlib_main_t *vm)
{
clib_error_t *error;
... do some stuff...
if ((error = vlib_call_init_function (init_runs_next)))
return error;
...
}
VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION (init_runs_first);
and
static clib_error_t *init_runs_first (vlib_main_t *vm)
{
... do some stuff...
}
VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION (init_runs_first) =
{
.runs_before = VLIB_INITS("init_runs_next"),
};
The first form will [most likely] call "init_runs_next" on the
spot. The second form means that "init_runs_first" runs before
"init_runs_next," possibly much earlier in the sequence.
Please DO NOT construct sets of init functions where A before B
actually means A *right before* B. It's not necessary - simply combine
A and B - and it leads to hugely annoying debugging exercises when
trying to switch from ad-hoc procedural ordering constraints to formal
ordering constraints.

If uio_hv_generic is not loaded, then the startup code will
fallback to the older failsafe/tap method of initialization
in DPDK. Therefore don't put out scary message in the log.
Also, reorder startup to avoid manipulating lower device until/unless
uio is going to work.

VPP supports two DPDK drivers for managing netvsc devices on
Azure/Hyper-V. The new netvsc PMD looks a lot like other PCI-based
PMDs but it requires recently added kernel support (>=4.17). The
older vdev_netvsc is an abstraction that manages the mlx4 VF
and tap device underlying the netvsc interface using the failsafe PMD.
Distros with older kernels (e.g. RHEL/CentOS 7.x) have to use vdev_netvsc.
At startup, netvsc devices are processed and an attempt is made to
initialize them for management by the netvsc PMD. If that fails, then
vlib_vmbus_bind_to_uio() returns early and the device can be initialized
for management by vdev_netvsc.
The operation that is supposed to fail if the netvsc PMD cannot be used
is registration of the netvsc device type ID with the uio_hv_generic
driver. This operation is attempted exactly once so it does not fail
for netvsc devices processed after the first one and they end up in a
state where they cannot be initialized for use by vdev_netvsc.
Only unset uio_new_id_needed if uio_hv_generic registration succeeds.

The code that was manipulating interface names with ifreq was
causing warnings about possible truncation and non terminated
strings.
These are warnings only since kernel would allow a interface
name > 15 characters anyway.

This patch adds support for VMBus to the VPP infrastructure.
Since the only device that matters is the netvsc Poll Mode Driver
in DPDK, the infrastructure is much simpler than PCI.
