Add support for building the SWX pipeline based on specification file
with syntax aligned to the P4 language. The specification file may be
generated by the P4C compiler in the future.

High-level transaction-oriented API for SWX pipeline table updates. It
supports multi-table atomic updates, i.e. multiple tables can be
updated in a single step with only the before and after table set
visible to the packets. Uses the lower-level table update mechanisms.

Add packet reception and header extraction instructions. The Rx must
be the first pipeline instruction. Each extracted header is logically
removed from the packet, then it can be read/written by instructions,
emitted into the outgoing packet or discarded.

The SWX pipeline instructions represent the main program that defines
the life of the packet. As packets go through tables that trigger
action subroutines, the headers and meta-data get transformed along
the way.

Add tables to the SWX pipeline. The match fields are flexibly selected

Add SWX actions that are dynamically-defined through instructions as
opposed to pre-defined. The actions are subroutines of the pipeline
program that triggered by table lookup. The input arguments are the
action data from the table entry (format defined by struct), the
headers and meta-data are in/out.

Add extern objects and functions to plug into the SWX pipeline any

Add output ports to the newly introduced SWX pipeline type. Each port
instantiates a port type that defines the port operations, e.g. ethdev
port, PCAP port, etc. The TX interface is single packet, with packet
batching internally for performance.

Start a new release cycle with empty release notes.
The ABI version becomes 21.0.
The ABI major is back to normal, having only one number (21 vs 20.0).
The map files are updated to the new ABI major number (21).
The ABI exceptions are dropped.
Travis ABI check is disabled because compatibility is not preserved.

This patch adds the symmetric crypto action support to pipeline
library. The symmetric crypto action works as the shim layer
between pipeline and DPDK cryptodev and is able to interact with
cryptodev with the control path requests such as session
creation/deletion and data path work to assemble the crypto
operations for received packets.

This API provides a common set of actions for pipeline input ports to speed
up application development.
Each pipeline input port can be assigned an action handler to be executed
on every input packet during the pipeline execution.
The pipeline library allows the user to define his own input port actions
by providing customized input port action handler. While the user can
still follow this process, this API is intended to provide a quicker
development alternative for a set of predefined actions.
The typical steps to use this API are:
* Define an input port action profile.
* Instantiate the input port action profile to create input port action
objects.
* Use the input port action to generate the input port action handler
invoked by the pipeline.
* Use the input port action object to generate the internal data structures
used by the input port action handler based on given action parameters.

This API provides a common set of actions for pipeline tables to speed up
application development.
Each match-action rule added to a pipeline table has associated data
that stores the action context. This data is input to the table
action handler called for every input packet that hits the rule as
part of the table lookup during the pipeline execution.
The pipeline library allows the user to define his own table
actions by providing customized table action handlers (table
lookup) and complete freedom of setting the rules and their data
(table rule add/delete). While the user can still follow this
process, this API is intended to provide a quicker development
alternative for a set of predefined actions.
The typical steps to use this API are:
* Define a table action profile.
* Instantiate the table action profile to create table action objects.
* Use the table action object to generate the pipeline table action
handlers (invoked by the pipeline table lookup operation).
* Use the table action object to generate the rule data (for the
pipeline table rule add operation) based on given action parameters.
* Use the table action object to read action data (e.g. stats counters)
for any given rule.

Two new pipeline API functions have been added to the library. The packet
hijack API function can be called by any input/output port or table action
handler to remove selected packets from the burst of packets read from one
of the pipeline input ports and then either send these packets out through
any pipeline output port or drop them.
Another packet drop API function can be used by the pipeline action
handlers (port in/out, table) to drop the packets selected using packet
mask. This function updates the drop statistics counters correctly.
