In contrast to other PMDs, the AF_PACKET PMD does not only return
incoming but also outgoing packets from rte_eth_rx_burst(). This is
fine for applications similar to tcpdump which usually want to see
both.

But this is not always the desired behavior. For example, the
AF_PACKET PMD might be used in a testing environment in which no
regular ethernet PMD is available. In that testing environment, the
PMD must behave like a regular one, i.e. not return sent packets
from rte_eth_rx_burst().

For this reason, this change adds the ignore_outgoing=<0|1> devarg.
When set, the PMD ensures that rte_eth_rx_burst() only returns
incoming traffic. The default is 0 so that existing software works
as before.
