Clarify that a fixed date will be used for end of embargo (public
disclosure) date while communicating with downstream stakeholders.
Initial document got a review that it gives an impression that
communicated embargo date can be a range like 'less than a week' which
is not the case. The range applies when defining the end of the embargo
date but a fix date will be communicated.

On v20.02 some APIs matured and symbols moved from EXPERIMENTAL to
DPDK_20.0.1 block.
This had the affect of breaking the applications that were using these
APIs on v19.11. Although there is no modification of the APIs and the
action is positive and matures the APIs, the affect can be negative to
applications.
When a maintainer is promoting an API to become part of the next major
ABI version by removing the experimental tag. The maintainer may
choose to offer an alias to the experimental tag, to prevent these
breakages in future.
The following changes are made to enabling aliasing:
Updated to the ABI policy and ABI versioning documents.
Created VERSION_SYMBOL_EXPERIMENTAL helper macro.
Updated the 'check-symbols.sh' tool, which was complaining that the
symbol is in EXPERIMENTAL tag in .map file but it is not in the
.experimental section (__rte_experimental tag is missing).
Updated tool in a way it won't complain if the symbol in the
EXPERIMENTAL tag duplicated in some other block in .map file (versioned)

Specified pattern may be translated in different manner.
For example the pattern "eth / ipv4" can be translated to match
untagged packets only, since the pattern doesn't specify a VLAN item.
It can also be translated to match both tagged and untagged packets,
for the same reason.
This patch updates the rte_flow documentation to clearly specify the
required pattern to use.
For example:
To match tagged ipv4 packets, the pattern "eth / vlan / ipv4 / end"
should be used.
To match untagged ipv4 packets, the pattern "eth / ipv4 / end"
should be used.
To match all IPV4 packets, both tagged and untagged, need to apply
two rules with the patterns above.
To match both tagged and untagged packets of any type, the pattern
"eth / end" should be used.

Currently, when running start/clear stats&xstats/stop command many times
based on testpmd application, there are incorrect forward Rx/Tx-packets
stats as below:
---------------------- Forward statistics for port 0 --------------
RX-packets: 18446744073709544808 RX-dropped: 0 <snip>
TX-packets: 18446744073709536616 TX-dropped: 0 <snip>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The root cause as below:
1. The struct rte_port of testpmd.h has a member variable "struct
rte_eth_stats stats" to store the last port statistics.
2. When running start command, it execute cmd_start_parsed ->
start_packet_forwarding -> fwd_stats_reset, which call
rte_eth_stats_get API function to save current port statistics.
3. When running stop command, it execute fwd_stats_display, which call
rte_eth_stats_get to get current port statistics, and then minus last
port statistics.
4. If we run clear stats or xstats after start command, then run stop,
it may display above incorrect stats because the current
Rx/Tx-packets is lower than the last saved RX/TX-packets(uint64_t
overflow).
This patch fixes it by clearing last port statistics when executing
"clear stats/xstats" command.
