[VPP-2103] NAT66 /64

[vvalderrv]

Description

A new VPP plugin sitting in the feature arc or as an FIB DPO.

This NAT66 mechanism supports both static and dynamic bindings between inside links (/64) and outside /64s. There is a pool of outside /64s (from e.g. a /48) or these can be statically mapped. The translation is done in a checksum neutral way using 16-bits of the interface-identifier as specified in RFC6296.

Given the very low frequency of change (only as new customer links appear) the state can be synchronized between instances and forward and reverse traffic does not have to be symmetric. No per-flow state is kept.
