example: l2fwd_simple: add single-threaded l2fwd example
The ODP distribution is lacking a simple example how to receive and send
packets. The l2fwd is overly complicated because it supports an arbitrary
number of interfaces, bi-directional operation and an arbitrary number of
threads.
To remedy this situation, add l2fwd_simple which is a single-threaded
unidirectional variant of l2fwd for exactly two interfaces. l2fwd_simple
can be used as an example application when learning how to use ODP. The
focus when developing l2fwd_simple was to reduce the code line count to as
small value as possible, and it turned out it requires 165 lines of code.
For unidirectional traffic in single-threaded use cases, l2fwd_simple
performs actually better than l2fwd with single thread, because
l2fwd_simple does not need to poll two interfaces in a single thread.
