Drop pycodestyle for code style checking in favor of black. Black is
much faster, stable PEP8 compliant code style checker offering also
automatic formatting. It aims to be very stable and produce smallest
diffs. It's used by many small and big projects.
Running checkstyle with black takes a few seconds with a terse output.
Thus, test-checkstyle-diff is no longer necessary.
Expand scope of checkstyle to all python files in the repo, replacing
test-checkstyle with checkstyle-python.
Also, fixstyle-python is now available for automatic style formatting.
Note: python virtualenv has been consolidated in test/Makefile,
test/requirements*.txt which will eventually be moved to a central
location. This is required to simply the automated generation of
docker executor images in the CI.

VPP only supports a poor man's approach for interrupt notification to the
driver. It uses a simple binary flag for "interrupt needed" or "interrupt
not needed". Most drivers support more sophisticated event index already.
This feature is to add the long due missing feature and make it configurable,
off by default.

virtio 1.1 defines a number of new features. Packed ring is among the most
notable and important one. It combines used, available, and descripptor rings
into one.
This patch provides experimental support for packed ring. To avoid
regression, when packed ring is configured for the interface, it is branched
to a separate RX and TX driver. Non packed ring should continue to perform
as it was before.
Packed ring is tested using qemu4.2 and ubuntu focal fossa (kernel 5.4.0-12)
on the guess VM which supports packed ring.
To configure VPP with packed ring, just add the optional keyword "packed"
when creating the vhost interface. To bring up the guest VM with packed ring,
add "packed=on" in the qemu launch command.
To facilitate troubleshooting, also added "verbose" option in
show vhost desc CLI to include displaying the indirect descriptors.
Known qemu reconnect issue -
If VPP is restarted, guest VMs also need to be restarted. The problem
is kernel virtio-net-pci keeps track of the previous available and used
indices. For virtio 1.0, these indices are in shared memory and qemu can
easily copy them to pass to the backend for reconnect. For virio 1.1, these
indices are no longer in shared memory. Qemu needs a new mechanism to retrieve
them and it is not currently implemented. So when the protocol reconnects,
qemu does not have the correct available and used indices to pass to the
backend. As a result, after the reconnect, virtio-net-pci is reading the TX
ring from the wrong position in the ring, not the same position which the
backend is writing. Similar problem exists also in the RX.

The vhost binary APIs for add/delete/dump interface were available long ago.
But no unit tests were ever added in make test. This patch is to retrofit
the missing unit tests.
