netdev-dpdk: Add option to configure VF MAC address.
In some cloud topologies, using DPDK VF representors in guest requires
configuring a VF before it is assigned to the guest.
A first basic option for such configuration is setting the VF MAC
address. Add a key 'dpdk-vf-mac' to the 'options' column of the Interface
table.
This option can be used as such:
$ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 dpdk-rep0 -- set Interface dpdk-rep0 type=dpdk \
options:dpdk-vf-mac=00:11:22:33:44:55
