[ovs-dev] [RFC] lib/netdev-dpdk: add hotplug support

In order to use dpdk ports in ovs they have to be bound to a DPDK
compatible driver before ovs is started.
This patch adds the possibility to hotplug (or hot-unplug) a device
after ovs has been started. The implementation adds two appctl commands:
netdev-dpdk/attach and netdev-dpdk/detach.
After the user attaches a new device, it can use the add-port command
to use it in a switch, similarly, before detaching a device, it has to
be removed using the del-port command.
