[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] app/testpmd: add portlist option to the testpmd

[Hariprasad Govindharajan <hariprasad.govindharajan@intel.com>]

    In current version, we are setting the ports
    using portmask. With portmask, we can use only
    upto 64 ports. This portlist option enables the user
    to use more than 64 ports.
    Now we can specify the ports in 2 different ways
    - Using portmask (-p [0x]nnn): mask must be in hex format
    - Using portlist in the following format
      --portlist <p1>[-p2][,p3[-p4],...]

    --portmask 0x2 is same as --portlist 1
    --portmask 0x3 is same as --portlist 0-1

v4:
the parser is modified so that we don't ues 2 arrays
to convert the listed port values
v3:
squashed the 2 patches and made it 1 patch with
changes only in testpmd. Also working on optmizing
the parser
v2:
moved the parser function to testpmd
