[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/3] app/testpmd: add profiling flags set command

This commit is preparation step before adding the separated profiling
of Rx and Tx burst routines. The new testpmd command is introduced:

  set fwdprof (flags)

This command controls which profiling statistics is being gathered
in runtime:

- bit 0 - enables profiling the entire forward routine, counts the ticks
          spent in the forwarding routine, is set by default. Provides the
	  same data as previous implementation.

- bit 1 - enables gathering the profiling data for the transmit datapath,
          counts the ticks spent within rte_eth_tx_burst() routine,
          is cleared by default, extends the existing statistics.

- bit 2 - enables gathering the profiling data for the receive datapath,
          counts the ticks spent within rte_eth_rx_burst() routine,
          is cleared by default, extends the existing statistics.

The new counters for the cycles spent into rx/tx burst
routines are introduced. The feature is engaged only if
CONFIG_RTE_TEST_PMD_RECORD_CORE_CYCLES configured to 'Y'.
