pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample05_flow_per_thread.sh
This pktgen sample script is useful for scalability testing a receiver. The script will simply generate one flow per thread (option -t N) using the thread number as part of the source IP-address. The single flow sample (pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh) have become quite popular, but it is important that developers also make sure to benchmark scalability of multiple receive queues.

+# Script will generate one flow per thread (-t N)
+# - Same destination IP
+# - Fake source IPs for each flow (fixed based on thread number)
+#
+# Useful for scale testing on receiver, to see whether silo'ing flows
+# works and scales. For optimal scalability (on receiver) each
+# separate-flow should not access shared variables/data. This script
+# helps magnify any of these scaling issues by overloading the receiver.
