For vdev, just calling rte_eth_dev_close() isn't enough to free all
the resources allocated during device probe, e.g. for virtio-user,
virtio_user_pmd_remove(), i.e. the remove() method of a vdev driver,
needs to be called to unlink the socket file created during device
probe. So this patch calls the rte_eth_dev_detach() for vdev when
quitting testpmd.

vdevs detach on testpmd exit implemented as workaround to fix
a virtio-user issue. The issue was virtio-user cleanup is not
called and existing socket file not cleaned up which will fail
next run.

Added a comment that this workaround should be converted to a proper
cleanup, not something specific to virtio-user, and not something
specific to vdev and testpmd.

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
Fixes: bd8f50a45d0f ("net/virtio-user: support server mode")
