This patch adds multi-process support for testpmd.
For example the following commands run two testpmd
processes:

 * the primary process:

./dpdk-testpmd --proc-type=auto -l 0-1 -- -i \
   --rxq=4 --txq=4 --num-procs=2 --proc-id=0

 * the secondary process:

./dpdk-testpmd --proc-type=auto -l 2-3 -- -i \
   --rxq=4 --txq=4 --num-procs=2 --proc-id=1

Applied to dpdk-next-net/main, thanks.


Thanks Connor for the work,
I won't be surprised if we need a few more tweak/fix for the testpmd secondary
process support but right now there is no blocker issue, so proceeding with the
patch, please continue your support for further required changes.
