This patch adds support for a new port type to the userspace datapath
called dpdkvhostuser. It adds to the existing infrastructure of
vhost-cuse, however disables vhost-cuse ports in favour of vhost-user
ports.
A new dpdkvhostuser port will create a unix domain socket which when
provided to QEMU is used to facilitate communication between the
virtio-net device on the VM and the OVS port.

We need to compile-in support for both - vhost-cuse and vhost-user and
use it according to port configuration. This way we can keep single
executable for all use cases.
The problem is that this is a compile-time option in DPDK, librte_vhost
only supports one or the other depending on how DPDK was built.
The API looks the same in both cases, but behaves differently in that
that rte_vhost_driver_register() expects an absolute path for vhost-user
and a relative one (under /dev) for vhost-cuse.
