when using vlib_buffer_enqueue_to_next the 'nexts' parameter is an array
of u16, but vnet_feautre_next takes a u32. this is a simple wrapper to
address the impedence mismatch.

implement per-acl-number counters in the stats segment.
They are created during the ACL creation,
the counters are incremented in the dataplane using
the new inline function with the extra parameter being
the packet size. Counting in shared segment adds
a noticeable overhead, so add also an API to
turn the counters on.

Abstracting out the internal format function
for L4 session key type makes the other
acl plugin format/print functions more maintainable.

This makes ACL plugin use the new feature arcs, which slightly increases performance.
Since for ethertype whitelisting we were using the L2 classifier, to retain
the functionality, make a simple node doing that, and plug it into non-ip
L2 feature arc whenever needed.

This significantly reduces need for
...
in multiarch code. Simply constructor macros will jost create static unused
entry if CLIB_MARCH_VARIANT is defined and that will be optimized out by
compiler.

This change avoids the long-read-after-short-write, resulting
in a small performance improvement.

Including the exports.h from multiple .c files belonging to a single plugin results in an error.
Rework the approach to require the table of function pointers to be filled in by
the initialization function.
Since the inline functions are compiled in the "caller" context,
there is no knowledge about the acl_main structure used by the ACL
plugin. To help with that, the signature of inline functions is slightly
different, taking the p_acl_main pointer as the first parameter.
That pointer is filled into the .p_acl_main field of the method
table during the initialization - since the calling of non-inline variants
would have required filling the method table, this should give
minimal headaches during the use and switch between the two methods.

Add a new kv_16_8 field into 5tuple union, rename
the existing kv into kv_40_8 for clarity, and
add the compile-time alignment constraints.

Using ip46_address_t was convenient from operational point of view but created
some difficulties dealing with IPv4 addresses - the extra 3x of u32 padding
are costly, and the "holes" mean we can not use the smaller key-value
data structures for the lookup.
This commit changes the 5tuple layout for the IPv4 case, such that
the src/dst addresses directly precede the L4 information.
That will allow to treat the same data within 40x8 key-value
structure as a 16x8 key-value structure starting with 24 byte offset.

- implement a 1us purgatory for the session structures
by adding a special connection list, where all connections
about to be deleted go.
- add per-list-head timeouts updated upon the list enqueue/dequeue
for connection idle management
- add a "unused" session list with list ID#0, which should
never be used unless there is a logic error. Use this ID
to initialize the sessions.
- improve the maintainability of the session linked list
structures by using symbolic bogus index name instead of ~0
- change the ordering of session creations - first reverse, then
local. To minimize the potential for two workers competing for
the same session in the corner case of the two packets
on different workers creating the same logical session
- reduce the maximum session count to keep the memory usage the same
- add extra log/debug/trace to session cleaning logic
- be more aggressive with cleaning up sessions - wind up the
interrupts from the workers to themselves if there is more
work to do

Use the new frame-at-once functions vlib_get_buffers() and vlib_buffer_enqueue_to_next()
to calculate the buffer pointers and to dispatch the packets after the processing.
This simplifies the dataplane node processing loop.

Using a separate session key has proven to be tricky for the following reasons:
- it's a lot of storage to have what looks to be nearly identical to 5tuple,
just maybe with some fields swapped
- shuffling the fields from 5tuple adds to memory pressure
- the fact that the fields do not coincide with the packet memory
means for any staged processing we need to use up a lot of memory
Thus, just add two entries into the bihash table pointing to
the same session entry, so we could match the packets from either
direction.
With this we have the key layout of L3 info (which takes up
the majority of space for IPv6 case) the same as in the packet,
thus, opening up the possibility for other optimizations.
Not having to create and store a separate session key
should also give us a small performance win in itself.
Also, add the routine to show the session bihash in a better
way than a bunch of numbers.
Alas, the memory usage in the bihash obviously doubles.

This commit splits the functions from fa_node.c
into the pure dataplane node functions (which are multiarch-compiled),
session management node functions (which are compiled only once),
and session find/add/delete functions which are split out into the inlines.
As part of the refactoring:
- get rid of BV() macros in the affected chunk of code,
rather use the explicit bihash function names.
- add the magic trailer to the new files to
ensure make checkstyle watches them.
- move the bihash_template.c include for 40_8 bihash into acl.c
