This commit adds 3 new traffic profile implementations to the
existing avx512 miniflow extract infrastructure. The profiles added are:
- Ether()/IP()/TCP()
- Ether()/Dot1Q()/IP()/UDP()
- Ether()/Dot1Q()/IP()/TCP()
The design of the avx512 code here is for scalability to add more
traffic profiles, as well as enabling CPU ISA. Note that an implementation
is primarily adding static const data, which the compiler then specializes
away when the profile specific function is declared below.
As a result, the code is relatively maintainable, and scalable for new
traffic profiles as well as new ISA, and does not lower performance
compared with manually written code for each profile/ISA.
Note that confidence in the correctness of each implementation is
achieved through autovalidation, unit tests with known packets, and
fuzz tested packets.

This commit adds AVX512 implementations of miniflow extract.
By using the 64 bytes available in an AVX512 register, it is
possible to convert a packet to a miniflow data-structure in
a small quantity instructions.
The implementation here probes for Ether()/IP()/UDP() traffic,
and builds the appropriate miniflow data-structure for packets
that match the probe.
The implementation here is auto-validated by the miniflow
extract autovalidator, hence its correctness can be easily
tested and verified.
Note that this commit is designed to easily allow addition of new
traffic profiles in a scalable way, without code duplication for
each traffic profile.

This commit adds a new command to allow the user to enable
autovalidatior by default at build time thus allowing for
runnig unit test by default.
$ ./configure --enable-mfex-default-autovalidator

The study function runs all the available implementations
of miniflow_extract and makes a choice whose hitmask has
maximum hits and sets the mfex to that function.
Study can be run at runtime using the following command:
$ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/miniflow-parser-set study

This patch introduced the auto-validation function which
allows users to compare the batch of packets obtained from
different miniflow implementations against the linear
miniflow extract and return a hitmask.
The autovaidator function can be triggered at runtime using the
following command:
$ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/miniflow-parser-set autovalidator

This patch introduces the MFEX function pointers which allows
the user to switch between different miniflow extract implementations
which are provided by the OVS based on optimized ISA CPU.
The user can query for the available minflow extract variants available
for that CPU by following commands:
$ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/miniflow-parser-get
Similarly an user can set the miniflow implementation by the following
command :
$ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/miniflow-parser-set name
This allows for more performance and flexibility to the user to choose
the miniflow implementation according to the needs.
