a6531d58b4 compressdev: replace mbuf scatter gather flag
The current mbuf scatter gather feature flag is
too ambiguous, as it is not clear if input and/or output
buffers can be scatter gather mbufs or not.

Therefore, three new flags will replace this flag:
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_SGL_OUT
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_FB_OUT
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_LB_IN_SGL_OUT

Note that out-of-place flat buffers is supported by default
and in-place is not supported by the library.

64454ff20e doc: rename compress feature flag
Renamed feature "Bypass" to "Pass-through",
as it is a more explicit name, meaning that the PMD
is capable of passing the mbufs through it,
without making any modifications (i.e.. NULL algorithm).
