This patch adds multi-process support for testpmd.
The test cmd example as follows:
the primary cmd:
./dpdk-testpmd -a xxx --proc-type=auto -l 0-1 -- -i \
--rxq=4 --txq=4 --num-procs=2 --proc-id=0

the secondary cmd:
./dpdk-testpmd -a xxx --proc-type=auto -l 2-3 -- -i \
--rxq=4 --txq=4 --num-procs=2 --proc-id=1

Some minor nits below. Otherwise looks fine to me.

Thanks Ajit.

Hi, Ferruh,
     Should I send v9 to fix the grammar bugs in doc which Ajit point
out or fix it in future?
Hi Connor, if they are only outstanding issues, I can fix them while 
merging.
Thanks Ferruh.
