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.
