tests userspace_ethtool: support fortville nic

change vlan packet check number when doing vlan testing. Add process to resize linux ethtool eeprom dump
data size as the size dump by dpdk ethtool. Ignore auto test link connect status on FVL. update related
test cases' test plan, add testing configuration and requirements.
