This plugin implements a PoC of UDP-based tunnel substrate whose aim is
to specifically provide higher MTU to the upper layers by chunking
the payload PDUs into smaller packets with full 5-tuple.
At the same time, if there are multiple small packets to
the same destination during the vector processing, they
are packed into "carrier" packets up to underlay MTU size.
It does assume a trustworthy underlying medium, thus for the
operation over Internet it requires the use of encryption layer
underneath.

With this feature, session enable is now modified to have 3 modes of operation
session enable -- only enable session
session enable rt-backend sdl -- enable session with sdl
session enable rt-backend rule-table -- enable session with rule-table
session rule tables are now created on demand, upon adding first rule
to the rule table.
refactor session table to remove depenency from sesssion rules table. Now
session rules table APIs take srtg_handle and transport
proto instead of srt pointer.

This patch moves osi into a plugin, and also modifies
the init functions of llc and snap to preserve init
order dependency (llc_init --> osi_init --> snap_init).
While the initial intent was to move osi/llc/snap together
into a single plugin, there exists a dependency on llc
in vnet/ethernet, which would require further refactoring
and testing work.

Setting and using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH variable takes
care of most of the magic necessary.
https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/
vpp-ext-deps packages after this change is being built with that
date set to date of the last modification of the
subtree (similar logic to deriving the "number" for
the package version)
For the rest of the packages, pinning the following
three variables should result in bit-identical
artifacts across multiple runs:
export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$(date +%s)
export VPP_BUILD_HOST="buildhost"
export VPP_BUILD_USER="builduser"
Add a blurb in the docs describing this new functionality.

For the reasons of modularity and security, it is useful
to have various functionality split into processes different from VPP.
However, this approach presents the challenges of managing those processes,
and is markedly different from simply running everything within VPP process.
This plugin is an experiment in having the VPP itself start off a monitor
process which in turn starts the child processes, and restarts them if they
quit.
If the VPP process ceases to exist, the monitor process terminates all
the descendant processes and quits itself.
This allows to preserve the "single entity to manage" approach of
simply running a barebones VPP.
An example of running it:
export DPDK_CONFIG=""
export DISABLED_PLUGINS=dpdk
export EXTRA_VPP_CONFIG="fateshare { monitor ./build-root/install-vpp_debug-native/vpp/bin/vpp_fateshare_monitor command ./test1 }"

This patch introduces DMA infrastructure into vlib. This is well known
that large amount of memory movements will drain core resource. Nowadays
more and more hardware accelerators were designed out for freeing core
from this burden. Meanwhile some restrictions still remained when
utilizing hardware accelerators, e.g. cross numa throughput will have a
significant drop compared to same node. Normally the number of hardware
accelerator instances will less than cores number, not to mention that
applications number will even beyond the number of cores. Some hardware
may support share virtual address with cores, while others are not.
Here we introduce new DMA infrastructure which can fulfill the
requirements of vpp applications like session and memif and in the
meantime dealing with hardware limitations.
Here is some design backgrounds:
Backend is the abstract of resource which allocated from DMA device
and can do some basic operations like configuration, DMA copy and
result query.
Config is the abstract of application DMA requirement. Application
need to request an unique config index from DMA infrastructure. This
unique config index is associated with backend resource. Two options
cpu fallback and barrier before last can be specified in config.
DMA transfer will be performed by CPU when backend is busy if cpu
fallback option is enabled. DMA transfer callback will be in order
if barrier before last option is enabled.
We constructs all the stuffs that DMA transfer request needed into
DMA batch. It contains the pattern of DMA descriptors and function
pointers for submission and callback. One DMA transfer request need
multiple times batch update and one time batch submission.
DMA backends will assigned to config's workers threads equally. Lock
will be used for thread-safety if same backends assigned to multiple
threads. Backend node will check all the pending requests in worker
thread and do callback with the pointer of DMA batch if transfer
completed. Application can utilize cookie in DMA batch for selves
usage.
DMA architecture:
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
| Config1 | | Config2 | | Config1 | | Config2 |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
|| || || ||
+-------------------------+ +-------------------------+
| DMA polling thread A | | DMA polling thread B |
+-------------------------+ +-------------------------+

+----------+ +----------+
| Backend1 | | Backend2 |

This patch refactors the VPP sphinx docs
in order to make it easier to consume
for external readers as well as VPP developers.
It also makes sphinx the single source
of documentation, which simplifies maintenance
and operation.
Most important updates are:
- reformat the existing documentation as rst
- split RELEASE.md and move it into separate rst files
- remove section 'events'
- remove section 'archive'
- remove section 'related projects'
- remove section 'feature by release'
- remove section 'Various links'
- make (Configuration reference, CLI docs,
developer docs) top level items in the list
- move 'Use Cases' as part of 'About VPP'
- move 'Troubleshooting' as part of 'Getting Started'
- move test framework docs into 'Developer Documentation'
- add a 'Contributing' section for gerrit,
docs and other contributer related infos
- deprecate doxygen and test-docs targets
- redirect the "make doxygen" target to "make docs"
