Flows having 'transfer' attribute have to be inserted to E-Switch on the
NIC and the control path uses Linux TC flower interface via Netlink
socket.
This patch adds the flow driver on top of the new flow engine.

interface.

This is commit introduce the Direct Verbs driver API.
The Direct Verbs is an API adds new features like encapsulation, match
on metatdata.
In this commit the validation function was added, most of the validation
is done with functions that are also in use for the Verbs API.

Compile Mellanox driver when its external dependencies are met. A
glue version of the driver can still be requested by using the
-Denable_driver_mlx_glue=true
Meson will try to find the required external libraries. When they are
not installed system wide, they can be provided though CFLAGS, LDFLAGS
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables, example (considering
RDMA-Core is installed in /tmp/rdma-core):
# CLFAGS=-I/tmp/rdma-core/build/include \
LDFLAGS=-L/tmp/rdma-core/build/lib \
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/rdma-core/build/lib \
meson output
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/rdma-core/build/lib \
ninja -C output install
Note: LD_LIBRARY_PATH before ninja is necessary when the meson
configuration has changed (e.g. meson configure has been called), in
such situation the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is necessary to invoke the
autoconfiguration script.
