mlxsw selftests often invoke a bail_on_lldpad() helper to make sure LLDPAD
is not running, to prevent conflicts between the QoS configuration applied
through TC or DCB command line tool, and the DCB configuration that LLDPAD
might apply. This helper might be useful to others. Move the function to
lib.sh, and parameterize to make reusable in other contexts.

Now that the two users of this helper have been converted to iproute2 dcb,
it is not necessary anymore. Drop it.

<title>selftests: mlxsw: qos_lib: Add a wrapper for running mlnx_qos</title>

mlnx_qos is a script for configuration of DCB. Despite the name it is not
actually Mellanox-specific in any way. It is currently the only ad-hoc tool
available (in contrast to a daemon that manages an interface on an ongoing
basis). However, it is very verbose and parsing out error messages is not
really possible. Add a wrapper that makes it easier to use the tool.

<title>selftests: Move two functions from mlxsw's qos_lib to lib</title>

The function humanize() is used for converting value in bits/s to a
human-friendly approximate value in Kbps, Mbps or Gbps. There is nothing
hardware-specific in that, so move the function to lib.sh.

Similarly for the rate() function, which just does a bit of math to
calculate a rate, given two counter values and a time interval.

<title>selftests: forwarding: sch_ets: Add test coverage for ETS Qdisc</title>

This tests the newly-added ETS Qdisc. It runs two to three streams of
traffic, each with a different priority. ETS Qdisc is supposed to allocate
bandwidth according to the DRR algorithm and given weights. After running
the traffic for a while, counters are compared for each stream to check
that the expected ratio is in fact observed.

In order for the DRR process to kick in, a traffic bottleneck must exist in
the first place. In slow path, such bottleneck can be implemented by
wrapping the ETS Qdisc inside a TBF or other shaper. This might however
make the configuration unoffloadable. Instead, on HW datapath, the
bottleneck would be set up by lowering port speed and configuring shared
buffer suitably.

Therefore the test is structured as a core component that implements the
testing, with two wrapper scripts that implement the details of slow path
resp. fast path configuration.

These two functions are used for starting several streams of traffic, and
then stopping them later. They will be handy for the test coverage of ETS
Qdisc. Move them from mlxsw-specific qos_lib.sh to the generic lib.sh.
