Backport 17.11.5 to Bionic and Cosmic

These are the changes that are derived from 18.11.x which is in Disco already.
Disco will - independent to this bug get 18.11.1 but the TL;DR is this is only relevant for Bionic and Cosmic - setting bug tasks accordingly.

    4.1.2 (13:43:02): add/remove ports (server) => Pass

Pre-test look good, I'll poll a few more testers if they want to participate

I got the confirmation by Mellanox that checks on the PPA are complete and that it is ok.

Thereby all pre-checks are done and this can go to the SRU queue in -unapproved ... uploaded.

Once accepted by the SRU team I'll rerun the internal regression check again on -proposed and we are good to go then.

Hello Christian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted dpdk into cosmic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpdk/17.11.5-0~ubuntu18.10.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

This is about 17.11.x versions (pre vhost-userclient) so we are testing the vhost-user-server mode as usual for these versions.

Settign Bionic to verified, upgrading for Cosmic ...

The OVS-DPDK tests had an issue at first, but it turned out to be just a cleanup of old test artifacts that was missing - the actual traffic was working and fast.
