lib: upgrade to DPDK v1.8.0
DPDK v1.8.0 makes significant changes to struct rte_mbuf, including
removal of the 'pkt' and 'data' fields. The latter, formally a
pointer, is now calculated via an offset from the start of the
segment buffer. So now dp_packet data is also stored as offset
from base pointer.
