Port representors hotplug

Test port representors hotplug add and remove

Test port representors hotplug add and remove. Test that traffic flow corresponds to the default representors flow rules.

1. Create a big enough mempool for PF, VF and representor ports

2. Get DPDK controller info

3. Hotplug all virtual functions

4. For each iteration (vf_id = 0; vf_id < n_vfs; vf_id++):

   • If remove_port :

     • Remove the PF port

   • Hotplug the PF port with representor device argument

   • Hotplug the VF

   • Find represetor port

   • Start PF, representor and the first VF with shared mempool

   • Init packet transmission between TST and IUT PF / VF / representor

   • Set MAC addresses of corresponding ports in templates

   • Check TST-IUT, VF-representor and representor-VF packet transmissions

   • Remove representor port
