Add a feature to plan a configuration without reading from the VPP Dataplane.
In this mode, the configuration file is read and validated in the same way as `check` or `plan`,
but then instead of retrieving the running state from the VPP API, a state is re-created using
the physical interfaces specified in the YAML config.
Implement this by creating vppapi:mockconfig() which reads the 'interfaces' scope from the YAML
config file, and creates a VPPMessage() of type sw_interface_details for each interface that is a
PHY (for now, only supporting device-type 'dpdk').
If the flag --novpp is specified in the planner, call mockconfig() instead of readconfig().
Some further details:
- if the MAC is not set in the YAML config, it won't be set in the output exec file.
- for bondethernets, no MAC can be generated unless it's set in the first member.
- the MTU is always set, because it's mocked to 64b and the YAML file will always be higher.
TESTED:
- the unit tests and YAML tests all pass
- the integration tests all pass, but they do not call this new codepath
- Based on an empty VPP on Hippo, I compared the output of these two, side by side:
for i in intest/*yaml; do ./vppcfg.py plan -c $i -o /tmp/$i-vpp.exec; done
for i in intest/*yaml; do ./vppcfg.py plan --novpp -c $i -o /tmp/$i-novpp.exec; done
==> The only changes here are:
* if I cannot determine the bondether MAC in the --novpp case, it is not emitted
* if the MAC address is set in the YAML file, the --novpp case will always emit it
* if VPP has mtu 9000, the --novpp case will end up still emitting interface and packet MTU,
because it mocks the interface MTU at 64.
In all cases, --novpp emits more configuration statements, and the statements that it emits are
redundant.
Fixed python load paths so that vppcfg will work installed as python
library and standalone from the source directory, fixing load
pathes for resources such as yaml files along the way.
Added a make target for pylint called 'make check-style', fixed a
number of minor pylint issues along the way.
