[1/1] dts: add binding to different drivers to TG node

From: Jeremy Spewock <jspewock@iol.unh.edu>

The DTS framework in its current state supports binding ports to
different drivers on the SUT node but not the TG node. The TG node
already has the information that it needs about the different drivers
that it has available in the configuration file, but it did not
previously have access to the devbind script, so it did not use that
information for anything.

This patch moves the steps to copy the DPDK tarball into the node class
rather than the SUT node class, and calls this function on the TG node
as well as the SUT. It also moves the driver binding step into the Node
class and triggers the same pattern of binding to ports that existed on
the SUT on the TG.

This is a very inefficient way to do this. We'll have to build DPDK 
twice and that's very time consuming. I was thinking in terms of just 
copying the script to the TG node and storing its location on the TG 
node. We should have access to the script whether DTS is run from the 
repository or a tarball.

This patch shouldn't be compiling DPDK twice, are you referring to the
process of copying the tarball over and extracting it taking too long?
If so, that makes sense that it takes longer than we need for this one
task. I figured it wouldn't hurt to have the whole DPDK directory
there, and that it could even be potentially useful to have it if the
TG ever needed it. That and it seemed like the most straightforward
way that kept these two set up in a similar way. Extracting the
tarball is obviously pretty quick, so I guess the real question here
is whether it is fine to add the time of one extra SCP of the DPDK
tarball around.

We should have access to it regardless, but extracting only that one
script would be different based on if it was a tarball or a repository
since, I believe at least, I would have to use the tarfile library to
read and extract only this one file to copy over if it was a tarball.
It would be faster I assume, so if you think it is worth it I could
make the change. Unless you are saying that we wouldn't need to take
the devbind script from the tarball that is passed into the DTS run
and instead assume that we can just go one directory up from `dts/` on
the runner host. That could be an interesting idea which would be
faster, but I wasn't sure if that was something that was fine to do
since (I don't think at least) there is anything that technically ties
you to running from in a DPDK directory other than the docker
container.

Looks good to me, and I don't understand it as triggering a second
compile on the TG node.

I wonder whether the docstring for set_up_build_target() makes it
sound like it does though?
