[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] add README

[Stephen Hemminger]

This project is missing a proper README which is used in
other projects and some git visualization services.
Only a starting point, please feel free to edit.
To keep the file short and current, I avoided putting any specific
information about features and versions.
