net/intel: create common mbuf initializer

Across a number of drivers, the same code is used for initializing the
"mbuf_initializer" value inside the rx queue structure for use with the
vector drivers. Since the rx queue structures are (currently) different
across the drivers, we cannot just move a single copy of the function to
a common location. Instead, we create a dedicated function which just
creates the mbuf initializer for a particular port.

In creating this function, we can shorten it vs the original versions by
initializing the mbuf fields as they are defined, rather than
afterwards. We can also remove the use of the barrier and temporary
uintptr_t variable, because the mbuf has been reworked so that
rearm_data is a proper single-element array in a union.

Across ixgbe, i40e, iavf and i40e, we can call this function to
initialize the rxq data, replacing the "*_rxq_vec_setup_default"
functions. Only the i40e was slightly different, having an extra
assignment in it, to set the "sse" flag (even in case of neon and
altivec paths). This assignment was just duplicated to the calling sites
for simplicity and to keep existing behaviour.

net/ice: use vector SW ring for all vector paths

The AVX-512 code path used a smaller SW ring structure only containing
the mbuf pointer, but no other fields. The other fields are only used in
the scalar code path, so update all vector driver code paths to use the
smaller, faster structure.

net/intel: create common Tx queue mbuf cleanup

The function to loop over the Tx queue and clean up all the mbufs on
it, e.g. for queue shutdown, is not device specific and so can move into
the common/intel headers. Only complication is ensuring that the
correct ring format, either minimal vector or full structure, is used.
Ice driver currently uses two functions and a function pointer to help
with this - though actually one of those functions uses a further check
inside it - so we can simplify this down to just one common function,
with a flag set in the appropriate place. This avoids checking for
AVX-512-specific functions, which were the only function using the
smaller struct in this driver.
