This code implements the functionality required for other plugins wishing
to perform ACL lookups in the contexts of their choice, rather than only
in the context of the interface in/out.
The lookups are the stateless ACLs - there is no concept of "direction"
within the context, hence no concept of "connection" either.
The plugins need to include the
The file acl_lookup_context.md has more info.

The commit fixing the VPP-910 and separating the memory operations
into separate heaps has missed setting the MHEAP_FLAG_THREAD_SAFE,
which quite obviously caused the issues in the multithread setup.
Fix that.
Also, add the debug CLIs
"set acl-plugin heap {main|hash} {validate|trace} {1|0}"
to toggle the memory instrumentation, in case we ever need it
in the future.

(cherry picked from commit e6423bef32)
Add a bihash-based ACL lookup mechanism and make it a new default.
This changes the time required to lookup a 5-tuple match
from O(total_N_entries) to O(total_N_mask_types), where
"mask type" is an overall mask on the 5-tuple required
to represent an ACE.
For testing/comparison there is a temporary debug CLI
"set acl-plugin use-hash-acl-matching {0|1}", which,
when set to 0, makes the plugin use the "old" linear lookup,
and when set to 1, makes it use the hash-based lookup.
Based on the discussions on vpp-dev mailing list,
prevent assigning the ACL index to an interface,
when the ACL with that index is not defined,
also prevent deleting an ACL if that ACL is applied.
Also, for the easier debugging of the state, there are
new debug CLI commands to see the ACL plugin state at
several layers:
"show acl-plugin acl [index N]" - show a high-level
ACL representation, used for the linear lookup and
as a base for building the hashtable-based lookup.
Also shows if a given ACL is applied somewhere.
"show acl-plugin interface [sw_if_index N]" - show
which interfaces have which ACL(s) applied.
"show acl-plugin tables" - a lower-level debug command
used to see the state of all of the related data structures
at once. There are specifiers possible, which make
for a more focused and maybe augmented output:
"show acl-plugin tables acl [index N]"
show the "bitmask-ready" representations of the ACLs,
we well as the mask types and their associated indices.
"show acl-plutin tables mask"
show the derived mask types and their indices only.
"show acl-plugin tables applied [sw_if_index N]"
show the table of all of the ACEs applied for a given
sw_if_index or all interfaces.
"show acl-plugin tables hash [verbose N]"
show the 48x8 bihash used for the ACL lookup.
