Currently, user could use runtime config "rx_func_hint=simple" to
select the hns3_recv_pkts API, but the API's name get from
rte_eth_rx_burst_mode_get is "Scalar" which has not reflected "simple".

So this patch renames hns3_recv_pkts to hns3_recv_pkts_simple, and
also change it's name which gets from rte_eth_rx_burst_mode_get to
"Scalar Simple" to maintain conceptual consistency.

Also changes the hns3_recv_scattered_pkts API's name which gets from
rte_eth_rx_burst_mode_get to "Scalar".

No concern on the burst function rename, that is driver internal, but related to the above change, I think new value "Scalar Simple" is not clear, what does 'Simple' mean? At least previously "Scalar Scattered" vs "Scalar" was more clear, one can easily say difference is scattered Rx support, but with "Scalar" vs "Scalar Simple" the difference is not clear.

Agreed to retain the hns3_recv_scattered_pkts name "Scalar Scattered",
but suggests changing the hns3_recv_pkts_simple name to "Scalar Simple"
for the following reasons:
1. Currently, the transmit and receive algorithms implemented in C language
only process single-BD algorithms. The Rx direction is Scalar, while the
Tx direction is Scalar Simple. The two do not correspond with each other.
2. The algorithm name selected by using rx_func_hint=simple does not contain
simple. The DPDK user may be confused.
