Add vl_client_connect_to_vlib_thread_fn (...) and export the
memory_client_main_t definition.
If you use this new API, make sure not to miss the setjmp / longjmp
dance shown in .../src/vlibmemory/memory_client.c:rx_thread_fn(...),
which is required for the rx pthread to terminate cleanly; please
process client delete reply messages in the rx thread...

Adding the thread handle to the api main structure allows the client process of
the bin api to manage the thread, like setting the thread name for example.

Explicitly using string type in API allows for autogenerating tools to print

This is needed when creating pthreads in client applications,
they need a way to set __os_thread_index per thread
that does not conflict with the binary API thread index.
If __os_thread_index is left to 0 in two client pthreads and
they call vl_msg_api_alloc and vec_resize at the same time
it can fail due to them sharing (and push/poping) the same
clib_per_cpu_mheaps slot.

Especially on a single core setup the RX thread could signal the main thread
that it was done, before main thread listened to the signal.

Some API action handlers called vl_msg_ai_send_shmem()
directly. That breaks Unix domain socket API transport.
A couple (bond / vhost) also tried to send a sw_interface_event
directly, but did not send the message to all that had
registred interest. That scheme never worked correctly.
Refactored and improved the interface event code.

A client can send a memclnt delete message and ask vpp to cleanup the
shared memory queue. Obviously, in this case no delete reply is sent
back to the client.

if you plan to put a hash into shared memory, the key sum and key
equal functions MUST be set to constants such as KEY_FUNC_STRING,
KEY_FUNC_MEM, etc. -lvppinfra is PIC, which means that the process
which set up the hash won't have the same idea where the key sum and
key compare functions live in other processes.

Clients cannot know at svm region detach time if the shm backing files
have been recreated (e.g., if vpp restarts) and therefore should not try
to unlink them. Otherwise, terminating clients attached to previous
instantiations of a re-allocated region end up making the new instance
un-mappable by removing its backing file.

On reviece side svm queue only permits blocking and
non-blocking calls. This patch adds timed wait blocking
functionality which returns either on signal/event or
on given time out.
It also preserves the original behavior, so it will not
hurt client applications which are using svm queue.

We need to push/pop the rx pthread's heap without affecting other
thread(s).
Search clib_per_cpu_mheaps, locate an unused slot. Duplicate the main
thread heap pointer in that slot, and set __os_thread_index
appropriately.
Miscellaneous cleanups. Print exec_inband results as a vector, instead
of as a format string. Don't bail out of vpp_api_test with results
pending, e.g. at the end of a vpp_api_test script. Even though vpp
will eventuallly garbage-collect them, We don't want to leave
allocated reply messages lurking in the api message allocation
rings...

- Teach vpp_api_test to send/receive API messages over sockets
- Add memfd-based shared memory
- Add api messages to create memfd-based shared memory segments
- vpp_api_test supports both socket and shared memory segment connections
- vpp_api_test pivot from socket to shared memory API messaging
- add socket client support to libvlibclient.so
- dead client reaper sends ping messages, container-friendly
- dead client reaper falls back to kill (<pid>, 0) live checking
if e.g. a python app goes silent for tens of seconds
- handle ping messages in python client support code
- teach show api ring about pairwise shared-memory segments
- fix ip probing of already resolved destinations (VPP-998)
We'll need this work to implement proper host-stack client isolation
