[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 2/2] config: enable vector driver by default

[Jianfeng Tan]

Previously, vector driver is not the first (default) choice for i40e,
as it cannot fill packet type info for l3fwd to work well. Now there
is an option for l3fwd to analysis packet type softly. So enable it
by default.
