[dts] Adding support for a new NIC on DTS

[Liu, Yong]

Hi Eric,
Can you show your settings in execution.cfg? By default NIC port type is "cfg" which mean DTS will only load ports which defined in conf/ports.cfg.

Here is one sample for port configuration file. Setting "pci" mean the pci address of DUT port, "peer" mean the opposite test port pci address.
[root at dpdk-test38 dts]# cat conf/ports.cfg
[DUT IP]
ports=
    pci=87:00.0,peer=07:00.0;
    pci=87:00.1,peer=07:00.1;
