netdev-dpdk: Add support for DPDK 16.07

This commit introduces support for DPDK 16.07 and consequently breaks compatibility with DPDK 16.04. DPDK 16.07 introduces some changes to various APIs. These have been updated in OVS, including: * xstats API: changes to structure of xstats * vhost API: replace virtio-net references with 'vid' Signed-off-by: Ciara Loftus <[email protected]> Tested-by: Maxime Coquelin <[email protected]> Tested-by: Robert Wojciechowicz <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Daniele Di Proietto <[email protected]>
