  Add destination ports(dst-ports) parameter for port-id action,
the parameter is only valid for port-id action. The parameter is not
Must, and the value is 1 by default as before if not provided.

For example:

$ dpdk-test-flow-perf -w 08:00.0,representor=[0,1] -- --transfer \
> --ingress --transfer --ether --portmask=0x2 --vxlan-encap \
> --port-id --dst-ports=0

This command means the rule created on representor 0 with port 0
as destination, since the portmask is 0x2 and dst-ports is 0:

$ dpdk-test-flow-perf -w 08:00.0,representor=[0,1] \
> -w 08:00.1,representor=[0,1]-- --transfer --ingress --transfer \
> --ether --portmask=0x12 --vxlan-encap --port-id --dst-ports=0,3

This command means the rules created on both representor 0 of PF 0
and PF 1, the destination port for the first represontor is PF 0,
and the destination port for the other one it PF 1.

Do you think it's applicable to use the same option?
I mean, usage:
--port-id: means default.
--port-id=N,M: use the parsing ports?

Yes, since the argument can be optional, your suggestion is applicable. So do you suggest to change to --port-id=N,M?

Yes after 2end look, it make more sense to remove the dependency of two options for same action.
