Subject: [dpdk-dev][PATCH v2] i40e: add VEB switching support for i40e

Signed-off-by: Zhe Tao <redacted>

VEB switching feature for i40e is used to enable the switching between the
VSIs connect to the virtual bridge. The old implementation is setting the
virtual bridge mode as VEPA which is port aggregation. Enable the switching
ability by setting the loop back mode for the specific VSIs which connect to PF
or VFs.

v1: Add the VEB switching support.
v2: Add the check for the FW version,which should larger than 5.0.
    Add release note.
