Many sample apps include internal buffering for single-packet-at-a-time

operation. Since this is such a common paradigm, this functionality is

better suited to being inside the core ethdev API.

The new APIs in the ethdev library are:

* rte_eth_tx_buffer - buffer up a single packet for future transmission

* rte_eth_tx_buffer_flush - flush any unsent buffered packets

* rte_eth_tx_buffer_set_err_callback - set up a callback to be called in

  case transmitting a buffered burst fails. By default, we just free the

  unsent packets.



As well as these, an additional reference callback is provided, which

frees the packets (as the default callback does), as well as updating a

user-provided counter, so that the number of dropped packets can be

tracked.



The internal buffering of packets for TX in sample apps is no longer

needed, so this patchset also replaces this code with calls to the new

rte_eth_tx_buffer* APIs in:



* l2fwd-jobstats

* l2fwd-keepalive

* l2fwd

* l3fwd-acl

* l3fwd-power

* link_status_interrupt

* client_server_mp

* l2fwd_fork

* packet_ordering

* qos_meter
