Description

Add support for link bonding PMD.
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/link_bonding_poll_mode_drv_lib.html

Can be useful for monitoring optical TAPs, where one side of a network flow comes on one interface, the other direction comes to the other interface. These interfaces are then abstracted into one virtual (bonding) interface which distributes packets of the same flow correctly to a single worker (as opposed to two individual workers when bonding is not enabled)
