  From: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>

This patch introduces a new telemetry connection socket and handling
functionality. Like the existing telemetry implementation (which is
unaffected by this change) it uses a unix socket, but unlike the
existing one it does not have a fixed list of commands - instead
libraries or applications can register telemetry commands and callbacks
to provide a full-extensible solution for all kinds of telemetry across
DPDK.

v2:
  - Added DPDK information message on client connection.
  - Added /info command to get DPDK information post-connect.
  - Replaced pid in socket name with v2.
  - Increased output buffer size to 16k.
  - Telemetry default callbacks now registered by init function.

I think we need to be constant with how prototypes are formatted. The two below do not add a newline after the return value.

The spaces can be removed after the commas, correct?

Is the newline required in the above output?

Do we need the newline in the output?

If bytes is 1024, then we overrun this buffer correct?

Do we need to validate the cmd pointer before we use that pointer? The man page for strcmp did not state what will happened if the strings are NULL.

Same buffer overrun problem.
