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.
