Allow TAP PMD to pass user desired MAC address as argument.
The argument value is processed as string delimited by ':',
is parsed and converted to HEX MAC address after validation.

Changed in V3:
- change the default init for user_mac - Ferruh
Changes in V2:
- updated the auto variable for user_mac - Ferruh
- added documentation update - Vipin

It is possible to specify a remote netdevice to capture packets from by adding
``remote=foo1``, for example::
