Support for OVS DPDK pmd auto balance parameters.

This patch adds 3 new role specific THT parameters to configure OVS DPDK
pmd auto balance feature, OvsPmdLoadThreshold (PMD load threshold)
OvsPmdImprovementThreshold (variance in PMD improvement threshold)
OvsPmdRebalInterval (minimum time between 2 consecutive
PMD auto load balancing iterations).
