[dpdk-web] [PATCH] Add section in roadmap for internship topics

[Maxime Coquelin]

The patch also adds two topics I have in mind:
 - Vhost & Virtio testing
 - Monitor socket for testpmd

+### Internship topic ideas
+----
+- Vhost & Virtio functionnal testing in DPDK CI
+ - Mentor: Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin@redhat.com>
+ - Languages: C, Python, Bash
+ - The goal is to develop and integrate testing of Virtio and Vhost
+   in DPDK CI.
+- Monitor socket implementation in testpmd to ease CI integration
+ - Mentor: TBD
+ - Languages: C, Python
+ - Instead on controlling and querying testpmd over stdin/stdout,
+   the idea is to have a dedicated socket for that. A protocol would
+   have to be defined, and could e.g. use JSON format so that it is
+   human-readable. It could be also extended to be able to register
+   to asynchronous events like packets drop notification.

 ### Cycle model {#cycle}

 A typical release should be done after 3 months.

Thanks for volunteering as a mentor.
How would it be different of what vsperf and dts are offering?
Would it be a separate project?

Any mentor volunteering for this project?
