> A new sample app that shows the usage of the distributor library. This
> app works as follows:
> 
> * An RX thread runs which pulls packets from each ethernet port in turn
>   and passes those packets to worker using a distributor component.
> * The workers take the packets in turn, and determine the output port
>   for those packets using basic l2forwarding doing an xor on the source
>   port id.
> * The RX thread takes the returned packets from the workers and enqueue
>   those packets into an rte_ring structure.
> * A TX thread pulls the packets off the rte_ring structure and then
>   sends each packet out the output port specified previously by the worker
> * Command-line option support provided only for portmask.
> 
> v5 change:
> * Handled gracefull shutdown of rx and tx threads upon SIGINT.
> 
> v6 change:
> * modified graceful shutdown logic to handle all threads upon SIGINT
> * removed call to rte_eal_pci_probe()
> * added seperate print_stats function
> 
> v7 change:
> * passing NULL as rxconf/txconf parameter for rx/tx queue setup
> * removed zero-ed fields from port conf structure
> * fixed style related comments
