                app/testpmd: support multiple mbuf pools per Rx queue

                Some of the HW has support for choosing memory pools based on
                the packet's size. The pool sort capability allows PMD/NIC to
                choose a memory pool based on the packet's length.

                On multiple mempool support enabled, populate mempool array
                accordingly. Also, print pool name on which packet is received.
