dpdk: Update to use DPDK 18.11.

This commit adds support for DPDK v18.11, it includes the following changes. 1. Enable compilation and linkage with dpdk 18.11.0 The following dpdk commits which were introduced after dpdk 17.11.x require OVS updates to accommodate to the dpdk changes. - ce17edd ("ethdev: introduce Rx queue offloads API") - ab3ce1e ("ethdev: remove old offload API") - c06ddf9 ("meter: add configuration profile") - e58638c ("ethdev: fix TPID handling in flow API") - cd8c7c7 ("ethdev: replace bus specific struct with generic dev") - ac8d22d ("ethdev: flatten RSS configuration in flow API") 2. Limit configured rss hash functions to only those supported by the eth device. 3. Set default RSS key in struct action_rss_data, required by OVS commit- e8a2b5b ("netdev-dpdk: implement flow offload with rte flow") when configured with "other_config:hw-offload=true". 4. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP has been removed from DPDK 18.11. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC can now be used to keep the CRC. Use the correct flag and check it is supported. 5. rte_eth_dev_attach/detach have been removed from DPDK 18.11. Replace them with rte_dev_probe/remove. 6. Update docs and travis to use DPDK18.11. This commit squashes the following commits present on the dpdk-latest branch: 7f021f9 ("netdev-dpdk: Upgrade to dpdk v18.08") 270d921 ("netdev-dpdk: Set scatter based on capabilities") bef2cdc ("netdev-dpdk: Fix returning the field of malloced struct.") 73c1a65 ("redhat: change variable used for non-root user support") eb485f6 ("dpdk: Update to use DPDK 18.11.") For credit all authors of the original commits above have been added as co-authors for this commmit.
