Alek Du 887e56e780 VPU: Add Intel Movidius MyriadX VPU plugin support

This patch is to support Intel VCAC-A card (with MyriadX 2485 VPUs), for other
later on VPUs, we will reuse this plugin and add support.

VCAC-A board info is at:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/media-analytics-vcac-a-accelerator-card-by-celestica-datasheet.pdf

Also add openvino HDDL VPU demo for Intel VCAC-A card.

Build and test Intel VPU device plugin for Kubernetes

Get source code:

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/intel/
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/intel/
$ git clone https://github.com/intel/intel-device-plugins-for-kubernetes.git

Note: to get VCAC-A card running hddl, please refer to: https://github.com/OpenVisualCloud/Dockerfiles/blob/master/VCAC-A/script/setup_hddl.sh

Verify kubelet socket exists in /var/lib/kubelet/device-plugins/ directory:

$ ls /var/lib/kubelet/device-plugins/kubelet.sock
/var/lib/kubelet/device-plugins/kubelet.sock

Deploy VPU device plugin as host process for development purposes

Build VPU device plugin:

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/intel/intel-device-plugins-for-kubernetes
$ make vpu_plugin

Run VPU device plugin as administrator:

$ sudo $GOPATH/src/github.com/intel/intel-device-plugins-for-kubernetes/cmd/vpu_plugin/vpu_plugin
device-plugin start server at: /var/lib/kubelet/device-plugins/vpu.intel.com-hddl.sock
device-plugin registered

Deploy VPU device plugin as a DaemonSet:

Build plugin image

$ make intel-vpu-plugin

Create plugin DaemonSet

$ kubectl create -f ./deployments/vpu_plugin/vpu_plugin.yaml
daemonset.apps/intel-vpu-plugin created

Note: It is also possible to run the VPU device plugin using a non-root user. To do this, the nodes' DAC rules must be configured to allow USB device descriptor detection, device plugin socket creation and kubelet registration. Furthermore, the deployments securityContext must be configured with appropriate runAsUser/runAsGroup.

Verify VPU device plugin is registered on master:

$ kubectl describe node <node name> | grep vpu.intel.com
 vpu.intel.com/hddl:  1
 vpu.intel.com/hddl:  1

Test VPU device plugin:

Build a Docker image with an example openvino to VPU:
```
$ cd demo
$ ./build-image.sh ubuntu-demo-openvino
```
This command produces a Docker image named ubuntu-demo-openvino.
Create a pod running unit tests off the local Docker image:
```
$ kubectl apply -f demo/intelvpu-job.yaml
```
Review the pod's logs:
```
$ kubectl logs intelvpu-demo-job-xxxx
```
