netmap: add load balancer program

Description

netmap: add load balancer program

Add the lb program, which is able to load-balance input traffic
received from a netmap port over M groups, with N netmap pipes in
each group. Each received packet is forwarded to one of the pipes
chosen from each group (using an L3/L4 connection-consistent hash function).
This also adds a man page for lb and some cross-references in related
man pages.
