  Bursts of up to 64 or 128 packets are not uncommon, so increase the
maximum tested get and put burst sizes from 32 to 128.
For convenience, also test get and put burst sizes of
RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE.

Some applications keep more than 512 objects, so increase the maximum
number of kept objects from 512 to 32768, still in jumps of factor four.
This exceeds the typical mempool cache size of 512 objects, so the test
also exercises the mempool driver.

Increased the precision of rate_persec calculation by timing the actual
duration of the test, instead of assuming it took exactly 5 seconds.

Added cache guard to per-lcore stats structure.

v6:
* Do not test with more lcores than available. (Thomas)
v5:
* Increased N, to reduce measurement overhead with large numbers of kept
  objects.
* Increased precision of rate_persec calculation.
* Added missing cache guard to per-lcore stats structure.
v4:
* v3 failed to apply; I had messed up something with git.
* Added ACK from Chengwen Feng.
v3:
* Increased max number of kept objects to 32768.
* Added get and put burst sizes of RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE objects.
* Print error if unable to allocate mempool.
* Initialize use_external_cache with each test.
  A previous version of this patch had a bug, where all test runs
  following the first would use external cache. (Chengwen Feng)
v2: Addressed feedback by Chengwen Feng
* Added get and put burst sizes of 64 objects, which is probably also not
  uncommon packet burst size.
* Fixed list of number of kept objects so list remains in jumps of factor
  four.
* Added three derivative test cases, for faster testing.
