- added ability to add/remove interfaces without system reboot
- added `attempts` and `interval` to the VPP API connection. This is helpful in
case of high system load or when VPP was just started and API is not yet
available.
- added exceptions to API calls. This allows handling errors in communication
with API properly in conf-mode scripts.
- fixed PCI address search in VPP to match Linux kernel and ethtool style
- fixed systemd daemons control - first reload, then restart
- removed debug prints
- removed `vm.nr_hugepages` configuration. It is not required now but increases
RAM requirements a lot.

Use info from both ethtool and VPP to find PCI address for an
interface.
|
|
Replaced CLI commands with API calls.
CLI commands still can be used via:
```
vpp_control = VPPControl()
vpp_control.cli_cmd('command_here')
```

Add initial configuration mode for VPP (PoC)
set vpp cpu corelist-workers '2'
set vpp cpu main-core '1'
set vpp interface eth1 num-rx-desc '256'
set vpp interface eth1 num-rx-queues '512'
set vpp interface eth1 num-tx-desc '256'
set vpp interface eth1 num-tx-queues '512'
set vpp interface eth1 pci '0000:02:00.0'
set vpp interface eth1 rx-mode 'polling'
set vpp interface eth2 pci '0000:08:00.0'
Limitation:
- 'set vpp interface ethX pci auto' works only per first
commit, then interface detached from default stack and creates
tun interface 'ethX' to communicate with default stack. In this
case we can't get PCI address via ethtool for 'tun' interfaces.
But we can set pci address manualy.
- Interface sync between default stack and VPP-DPDK stack
After vpp change it doesn't trigger iproute2 for changes
(should be written later)
I.e. if we change something in vpp per each commit it restarts
vpp.service it gets empty interface config as we don't configure vpp
directly and it should be configured via iproute2
But then if we do any change on interface (for example description)
it gets IP address, MTU, state, etc.
