net/vdev_netvsc: add automatic probing

Using DPDK in Hyper-V VM systems requires vdev_netvsc driver to pair
the NetVSC netdev device with the same MAC address PCI device by
fail-safe PMD.

Add vdev_netvsc custom scan in vdev bus to allow automatic probing in
Hyper-V VM systems unless it was already specified by command line.

Add "ignore" parameter to disable this auto-detection.
