[dpdk-dev,v5,01/18] mbuf: redefine packet_type in rte_mbuf

In order to unify the packet type, the field of 'packet_type' in
'struct rte_mbuf' needs to be extended from 16 to 32 bits.
Accordingly, some fields in 'struct rte_mbuf' are re-organized to
support this change for Vector PMD. As 'struct rte_kni_mbuf' for
KNI should be right mapped to 'struct rte_mbuf', it should be
modified accordingly. In addition, Vector PMD of ixgbe is disabled
by default, as 'struct rte_mbuf' changed.

v2 changes:
* Enlarged the packet_type field from 16 bits to 32 bits.
* Redefined the packet type sub-fields.
* Updated the 'struct rte_kni_mbuf' for KNI according to the mbuf changes.

v3 changes:
* Put the mbuf layout changes into a single patch.
* Disabled vector ixgbe PMD by default, as mbuf layout changed.

v5 changes:
* Re-worded the commit logs.
