Currently meter algorithms only supports rate is bytes per second(BPS).
Add packet_mode flag in meter profile parameters data structure.
So that it can meter traffic by packet per second.

When packet_mode is 0, the profile rates and bucket sizes are
specified in bytes per second and bytes
when packet_mode is not 0, the profile rates and bucket sizes are
specified in packets and packets per second.

Add the necessary checks to the existing drivers implementing
the rte_mtr API to makes sure that profiles with
packet_mode set to TRUE are rejected.

V2: create a unified patch that contains both the series with
        the API changes and the series with the necessary error checks in the 
drivers.
V3: Fix comments about commit-log.
V4: Fix comments about Depends-on and rebase.
V5: Fix comments about Depends-on and add acked.

   ethdev: add packet mode in meter profile structure
   app/testpmd: add meter profile packet mode option
   net/softnic: check meter packet mode
   net/mvpp2: check meter packet mode


Series applied to dpdk-next-net/main, thanks.
