make single link the default topology in DTS

Bug ID: 1759
Summary: make single link the default topology in DTS
Product: DPDK
Version: 25.03
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: DTS
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---

Currently, if the testsuite writer omits a @requires{some topology} from their testsuites or testcases, the framework enforces a default behavior of requires 2 links. Most testcases do/will only require 1 link, so it is more reasonable to make this the default behavior.

Another solution would be to force all testsuites/testcases without a topology decorator to SKIP, but I want to reduce barriers to getting a testsuite online quickly, not add more barriers, so I don't really want to do that.

Assigning to Dean, who came up with this suggestion.
