Currently, the flow meter policy does not support multiple actions
per color; also the allowed action types per color are very limited.
In addition, the policy cannot be pre-defined.
Due to the growing in flow actions offload abilities there is a potential
for the user to use variety of actions per color differently.
This new meter policy API comes to allow this potential in the most ethdev
common way using rte_flow action definition.
A list of rte_flow actions will be provided by the user per color
in order to create a meter policy.
In addition, the API forces to pre-define the policy before
the meters creation in order to allow sharing of single policy
with multiple meters efficiently.
meter_policy_id is added into struct rte_mtr_params.
So that it can get the policy during the meters creation.
Allow coloring the packet using a new rte_flow_action_color
as could be done by the old policy API.
Add two common policy template as macros in the head file.
The next API function were added:
- rte_mtr_meter_policy_add
- rte_mtr_meter_policy_delete
- rte_mtr_meter_policy_update
- rte_mtr_meter_policy_validate
The next struct was changed:
- rte_mtr_params
- rte_mtr_capabilities
The next API was deleted:
- rte_mtr_policer_actions_update
To support this API the following app were changed:
app/test-flow-perf: clean meter policer
app/testpmd: clean meter policer
To support this API the following drivers were changed:
net/softnic: support meter policy API
1. Cleans meter rte_mtr_policer_action.
2. Supports policy API to get color action as policer action did.
The color action will be mapped into rte_table_action_policer.
net/mlx5: clean meter creation management
Cleans and breaks part of the current meter management
in order to allow better design with policy API.

One of the ways to increase the insertion/deletion rate is to use
multi-threaded insertion/deletion. Thus it's needed to have support
for testing and measure those rates using flow-perf application.
Now we generate cores and distribute all flows to those cores,
and start inserting/deleting in parallel.
The app now receive the cores count to use from command line option,
then it distribute the rte_flow rules evenly between the cores, and
start inserting/deleting. Each worker will report it's own results,
and in the end the MAIN worker will report the total results for all
cores.
The total results are calculated using RULES_COUNT divided over
max time used between all cores.
Also this touches the memory area, since inserting using multiple cores
in same time the pre solution for memory is not valid, thus now we save
memory before and after each allocation for all cores. In the end we
pick the min pre memory and the max post memory from all cores.
The difference between those values represent the total memory consumed
by the total rte_flow rules from all cores, and then report the total
size of single rte_flow in byte for each port.
How to use this feature:

Currently, flow-perf measures the performance of
rule installation/deletion operations by breaking
down the entire number of operations into windows
of fixed size (i.e., 100000 operations per window).
Then, flow-perf measures the total time per window
and computes an average time across all windows.
This commit allows flow-perf users to configure
the number of rules per window instead of using
a fixed pre-compiled value. To do so, users must
pass --rules-batch=N, where N is the number of
rules per window (or batch).
For consistency reasons, flow_count variable is
now renamed to rules_count. This variable is the
total number of rules to be installed/deleted.
For example, if a user wants to measure how much
time it takes to install 1M rules in a certain NIC,
he/she can input:
--rules-count=1000000
This way flow-perf will break down 1M flow rules into
10 batches of 100k flow rules each (this is the default
batch size) and compute an average across the 10
measurements.
Now, if the user modifies the number of rules per
batch as follows:
--rules-count=1000000 --rules-batch=500000
then flow-perf will break down 1M flow rules into
2 batches of 500k flow rules each and compute the
average across the 2 measurements.
Finally, this commit also adds default variables
to the usage function instead of hardcoded values.

The old design was using the bit mask to identify

So it was all based on the order of the code itself,
to place the order of the actions, items & attributes
inside the flows. Such design will lead into many failures
when some PMD support order different than other PMD,
in the end the rules will fail to create. Also sometimes
the user needs to have one action before other actions
and vice versa, so using new design of arrays that
take user order into consideration make more sense.
