vcl: allow vcl worker index to be set by applications

When using vppcom_session* apis to setup TCP sessions in applications build outside of the VPP repository, it is necessary to set the worker_index explicitly when these apis are called from the none-VCL worker threads. An example is when data is to be sent to the TCP session that is originated from a different thread, like the main program thread or from the bin api thread. This change allows the application to set it.

Type: fix
