[PATCH v2 05/50] net/ntnic: extend and fix logging implementation

[Serhii Iliushyk <sil-plv@napatech.com>]

From: Danylo Vodopianov <dvo-plv@napatech.com>

Add suffixes logging
Fix the issue with the configuration log level for a specific module
Fix extended debug logging
        3-letter abbreviation for log type
Update documentation
new log modules were added
        Log level in functions that initialize feature operations
        was updated from INFO to DEBUG to avoid noisy traces
        during driver startup.
log level for ops init was changed
nim and PMD modules was replaced with NTNIC
        NIM module was replaced with NTNIC according to the ntnic log
        convention.

+Logging and Debugging
+---------------------
+
+NTNIC supports several groups of logging that can be enabled with ``--log-level``
+parameter:
+
+- NTNIC.
+
+    Logging info from the main PMD code. i.e. code that is related to DPDK::

+
+    Logging info from filter. i.e. code that is related to the binary filter::
+
+        --log-level=pmd.net.ntnic.filter,8
+
+To enable logging on all levels use wildcard in the following way::
+
+    --log-level=pmd.net.ntnic.*,8
