c3f8e4d2cd test/perf: Actually load passt enough to test UDP performance
With recent improvements, we're not CPU-bound at all while testing
UDP performance. Give the VM more memory and CPUs, forward two
additional ports, start up to four threads in parallel, and give
single iperf3 threads higher bandwidth targets.

6257a2752e test/perf: Try sourcing maximum scaling frequency from cpufreq
On most recent CPUs, that's a better indication of all-core turbo
frequency, or non-turbo frequency, than /proc/cpuinfo.

9df5027129 perf/passt_udp: Don't overshoot UDP bandwidth excessively on larger MTUs
...performance with 64KiB MTUs might look worse than with 9000bytes
on some configurations.

7aaff3387a perf/passt_tcp: Don't exceed typical L3 cache sizes with buffers
...we might see misleading rate drops with larger MTUs otherwise.

e8ac8a3b7c test/perf: Use CPU frequency from /proc/cpuinfo instead of cpupower(1)
Get it to work also in nested virtualisation environments.
