selftests: forwarding: sch_ets: Add test coverage for ETS Qdisc
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.
