ethdev: remove jumbo offload flag

Removing 'DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME' offload flag.

Instead of drivers announce this capability, application can deduct the
capability by checking reported 'dev_info.max_mtu' or
'dev_info.max_rx_pktlen'.

And instead of application setting this flag explicitly to enable jumbo
frames, this can be deduced by driver by comparing requested 'mtu' to
'RTE_ETHER_MTU'.

Removing this additional configuration for simplification.

The option RTE_EAL_ALWAYS_PANIC_ON_ERROR was off by default,

The function rte_dump_registers is a trace of the bare metal support
era, and was not supported in userland. It is completely removed.

eal: register non-EAL threads as lcores

DPDK allows calling some part of its API from a non-EAL thread but this
has some limitations.
OVS (and other applications) has its own thread management but still
want to avoid such limitations by hacking RTE_PER_LCORE(_lcore_id) and
faking EAL threads potentially unknown of some DPDK component.

Introduce a new API to register non-EAL thread and associate them to a
free lcore with a new NON_EAL role.
This role denotes lcores that do not run DPDK mainloop and as such
prevents use of rte_eal_wait_lcore() and consorts.

Multiprocess is not supported as the need for cohabitation with this new
feature is unclear at the moment.
