A WQE is an aggregation of 16 bytes elements known as "data segments"

In mlx5 rx function, the packet_type and ol_flags mbuf fields are not
properly initialized when no rx offload feature is enabled (checksum, l2
tun checksum, vlan_strip, crc). Thus, these fields can have a value
different of 0 depending on their value when the mbuf was freed.
This can result in an incorrect application behavior if invalid
ol_flags/ptype are set, or memory corruptions if IND_ATTACHED_MBUF is
set in ol_flags.

This commit brings back Rx scatter and related support by the MTU update
function. The maximum number of segments per packet is not a fixed value
anymore (previously MLX5_PMD_SGE_WR_N, set to 4 by default) as it caused
performance issues when fewer segments were actually needed as well as
limitations on the maximum packet size that could be received with the
default mbuf size (supporting at most 8576 bytes).
These limitations are now lifted as the number of SGEs is derived from the
MTU (which implies MRU) at queue initialization and during MTU update.

Compared to its previous incarnation, the software limit on the number of
mbuf segments is no more (previously MLX5_PMD_SGE_WR_N, set to 4 by
default) hence no need for linearization code and related buffers that
permanently consumed a non negligible amount of memory to handle oversized
mbufs.
The resulting code is both lighter and faster.
With the addition of this code, older GCC versions (such
as 4.8.5) may complain about 'wqe' variable being uninitialized, so
initialize it preemptively, even though it is not necessary to do so.

Mini (compressed) completion queue entries (CQEs) are returned by the
NIC when PCI back pressure is detected, in which case the first CQE64
contains common packet information followed by a number of CQE8
providing the rest, followed by a matching number of empty CQE64
entries to be used by software for decompression.
Before decompression:
0 1 2 6 7 8
+-------+ +---------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 |
|-------| |---------| |-------| |-------| |-------| |-------|
| ..... | | cqe8[0] | | | . | | | | | ..... |
| ..... | | cqe8[1] | | | . | | | | | ..... |
| ..... | | ....... | | | . | | | | | ..... |
| ..... | | cqe8[7] | | | | | | | | ..... |
+-------+ +---------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+
After decompression:
0 1 ... 8
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 |
|-------| |-------| |-------|
| ..... | | ..... | . | ..... |
| ..... | | ..... | . | ..... |
| ..... | | ..... | . | ..... |
| ..... | | ..... | | ..... |
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
This patch does not perform the entire decompression step as it would be
really expensive, instead the first CQE64 is consumed and an internal
context is maintained to interpret the following CQE8 entries directly.
Intermediate empty CQE64 entries are handed back to HW without further
processing.

The behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT was not very well defined, resulting in
PMDs not advertising the same flags in similar conditions.
Following discussion in [1], introduce 2 new flags PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED
and PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED that are better defined:
PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED: a vlan has been stripped by the hardware and its
tci is saved in mbuf->vlan_tci. This can only happen if vlan stripping
is enabled in the RX configuration of the PMD.
For now, the old flag PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT is kept but marked as deprecated.
It should be removed from applications and PMDs in a future revision.
This patch also updates the drivers. For PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT:
- e1000, enic, i40e, mlx5, nfp, vmxnet3: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already
had the same meaning than PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, minor update is
required.
- fm10k: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already had the same meaning than
PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, and vlan stripping is always enabled on fm10k.
- ixgbe: modification done (vector and normal), the old flag was set
when a vlan was recognized, even if vlan stripping was disabled.
- the other drivers do not support vlan stripping.
For PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT, it was only supported on i40e, and the behavior was
already correct, so we can reuse the same bit value for
PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED.
