doc: introduce PVP reference benchmark

Having reference benchmarks is important in order to obtain
reproducible performance figures.

This patch describes required steps to configure a PVP setup
using testpmd in both host and guest.

Not relying on external vSwitch ease integration in a CI loop by
not being impacted by DPDK API changes.
