In latest virtio-spec, new feature bit VIRTIO_F_IN_ORDER was introduced.
When this feature has been negotiated, virtio driver will use
descriptors in ring order: starting from offset 0 in the table, and
wrapping around at the end of the table. Vhost devices will always use
descriptors in the same order in which they have been made available.
This can simplify vhost and device code as desc/used/avail ring are
using same index. 

Based on updated virtio-spec, this series realized IN_ORDER prototype
in virtio driver. Due to new [RT]x path added into selection, also add
two new parameters mrg_rx and in_order into virtio-user vdev parameters
list. This will allow user to configure feature bits thus can impact
[RT]x path selection.

IN_ORDER can improve virtio/vhost performance. This patch implement
virtio driver part only, we can see significant gain there. As a result
it impacts vhost performance a little since there’s no dedicated Rx/Tx
implementation on vhost side. This can be added in another patch later.

Performance of virtio user with IN_ORDER feature:

    Platform: Purely
    CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8160 CPU @ 2.10GHz
    DPDK baseline: 18.05
    Setup: testpmd with vhost vdev + testpmd with virtio vdev
