The stdio.h header needs to be included to get the definition of the
FILE type.

Add support for building the SWX pipeline based on specification file
with syntax aligned to the P4 language. The specification file may be
generated by the P4C compiler in the future.

Add packet reception and header extraction instructions. The Rx must
be the first pipeline instruction. Each extracted header is logically
removed from the packet, then it can be read/written by instructions,
emitted into the outgoing packet or discarded.

The SWX pipeline instructions represent the main program that defines
the life of the packet. As packets go through tables that trigger
action subroutines, the headers and meta-data get transformed along
the way.

Add tables to the SWX pipeline. The match fields are flexibly selected
from the headers and meta-data. The set of table actions is flexibly
selected for each table from the set of pipeline actions.

Add SWX actions that are dynamically-defined through instructions as
opposed to pre-defined. The actions are subroutines of the pipeline
program that triggered by table lookup. The input arguments are the
action data from the table entry (format defined by struct), the
headers and meta-data are in/out.

Add extern objects and functions to plug into the SWX pipeline any
functionality that cannot be efficiently implemented with existing
instructions, e.g. special checksum/ECC, crypto, meters, stats arrays,
heuristics, etc. In/out arguments are passed through mailbox with
format defined by struct.

Add support for dynamically-defined packet headers and meta-data to
the SWX pipeline. The header and meta-data format are defined by the
struct type they instantiate.

Add output ports to the newly introduced SWX pipeline type. Each port
instantiates a port type that defines the port operations, e.g. ethdev
port, PCAP port, etc. The TX interface is single packet, with packet
batching internally for performance.

Add new improved Software Switch (SWX) pipeline type that supports
dynamically-defined packet headers, meta-data, actions and pipelines.
Actions and pipelines are defined through instructions.
