vhost-test: Initial commit with first draft

This is a first version for what intends
to become some reference scripts to test vpp and vhost performances.
The goal of this effort is to:
- Give testers a reference script that they can run on their own
  device.
- Give user a reference configuration that they should try to
  replicate.
