Add new meta pattern item RTE_FLOW_TYPE_ITEM_FUZZY in flow API.
This is for device that support fuzzy match option.
Usually a fuzzy match is fast but the cost is accuracy.
i.e. Signature Match only match pattern's hash value, but it is
possible that two different patterns have the same hash value.
Matching accuracy level can be configured by subfield threshold.
Driver can divide the range of threshold and map to different
accuracy levels that device support.

Isolated mode can be requested by applications on individual ports to avoid
ingress traffic outside of the flow rules they define.
Besides making ingress more deterministic, it allows PMDs to safely reuse
resources otherwise assigned to handle the remaining traffic, such as
global RSS configuration settings, VLAN filters, MAC address entries,
legacy filter API rules and so on in order to expand the set of possible
flow rule types.
To minimize code complexity, PMDs implementing this mode may provide
partial (or even no) support for flow rules when not enabled (e.g. no
priorities, no RSS action). Applications written to use the flow API are
therefore encouraged to enable it.
Once effective, leaving isolated mode may not be possible depending on PMD
implementation.

E-Tag and NVGRE pattern items have been added hastily without updating
documentation nor testpmd.
This commit also adds default masks for these items based on the ixgbe
implementation.

Change comments for rte_flow_validate() function to indicate that flow
rule collision and resource validation is optional for PMDs and
therefore the return codes may have different meanings.

Leaving default pattern item mask values up for interpretation by PMDs is
an undefined behavior that applications might find difficult to use in the
wild. It also needlessly complicates PMD implementation.
This commit addresses this by defining consistent default masks for each
item type.

Contrary to the current description, mbuf RSS hash result storage does not
overlap with the returned MARK value (hash.fdir.lo vs. hash.fdir.hi), and
both may be combined.
Reflect this change by allowing testpmd to display both values
simultaneously.

Both actions share the PKT_RX_FDIR mbuf flag, as a result there is no way
to tell them apart. Moreover, the maximum allowed value for the MARK action
may not necessarily cover the entire 32-bit space.
