[PATCH 0/2] testpmd load cmdline commands from file

[Allain Legacy <allain.legacy@windriver.com>]

Enhancing test-pmd to be able to load CLI commands from file both at
runtime and at startup.  Usually the number of commands to run is small
enough that a simple cut-n-paste does the trick, but while testing the flow
API it was necessary to load several hundred commands and cut-n-paste could
not keep up.

I started with adding support to load the commands at startup
(--cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/somefile.txt), but then realized that I needed
to remove/re-add commands at runtime so I added CLI commands to take care
of that aspect as well ("testpmd> load /home/ubuntu/somefile.txt")

I thought of removing the startup command support since the same could be
accomplished by using the new "load" command once the process starts up,
but then I realized that it may be useful for someone using non-interactive
mode.

I am open to the idea of squashing both commits together if necessary.
