We don't need a deprecation notice, as it is an internal change
without any impact for the users.

We should move all test apps into the same directory.
Is there any benefit of keeping unit tests separate?
It looks more logic to move everything in test/
but it would make the git history of testpmd more complex.
The other choice is to move all tests in app/.

The other split to discuss is between app/ and usertools/.
We could move user-oriented apps to usertools.
pdump and proc-info fall into this basket because they
can be used for debugging purpose.
