  Improved MAC swap performance for ARM platform.
The improvement was achieved by using neon intrinsics
to save CPU cycles and doing swap for four packets
at a time.
The optimization had 15% - 20% throughput boost
in testpmd MAC swap mode.

Nit: I think, we can make it as "const uint8x16_t idx_map".

Other than that it looks good to me.
Regarding the performance, I have tested with two SoCs.

octeontx: +13% improvement
octeontx2: +46% improvement

This change is derived from Intel's work in macswap_sse.h. Can you please add a header similar to lib/librte_lpm/rte_lpm_neon.h?

Thanks Jerin for your test and data.
The code change will be included in v2.
