dpdk: Deprecate vhost-user server ports.
Since vhost-user server mode ports are the preferred mechanism for interconnecting Open vSwitch with VMs when using DPDK, and since there are currently no known use cases for vhost-user server mode ports apart from version incompatibilities with QEMU, announce that server mode ports are considered deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
