Meter arrays are stateful objects that are updated by the data plane
and configured & monitored by the control plane. The meters implement
the RFC 2698 Two Rate Three Color Marker (trTCM) algorithm.

Register arrays are stateful objects that can be read & modified by
both the data plane and the control plane, as opposed to tables, which
are read-only for data plane. One key use-case is the implementation
of stats counters.

for the key field masks, allow comments and empty lines in the table
entry files.

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.

Query API to be used by the control plane to detect the configuration
and state of the SWX pipeline and its internal objects.

Add tables to the SWX pipeline. The match fields are flexibly selected
from the headers and meta-data. The set of table actions is flexibly
selected for each table from the set of pipeline actions.
