RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_PORT_ID brings the ability to inject matching traffic
into a different device, as identified by its DPDK port ID.
This is normally only supported when the target port ID has some kind of
relationship with the port ID the flow rule is created against, such as
being exposed by a common physical device (e.g. a different port of an
Ethernet switch).
The converse pattern item, RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_PORT_ID, makes the resulting
flow rule match traffic whose origin is the specified port ID. Note that
specifying a port ID that differs from the one the flow rule is created
against is normally meaningless (if even accepted), but can make sense if
combined with the transfer attribute.
These must not be confused with their PHY_PORT counterparts, which refer to
physical ports using device-specific indices, but unlike PORT_ID are not
necessarily tied to DPDK port IDs.

VLAN TCI is a 16-bit field broken down as PCP (3b), DEI (1b) and VID (12b).
The default mask used by PMDs for the VLAN pattern when one isn't provided
by the application comprises the entire TCI, which is problematic because
most devices only support VID matching.
This forces applications to always provide a mask limited to the VID part
in order to successfully apply a flow rule with a VLAN pattern item.
Moreover, applications rarely want to match PCP and DEI intentionally.
Given the above and since VID is what is commonly referred to when talking
about VLAN, this commit excludes PCP and DEI from the default mask.

TPID handling in rte_flow VLAN and E_TAG pattern item definitions is not
consistent with the normal stacking order of pattern items, which is
confusing to applications.
Problem is that when followed by one of these layers, the EtherType field
of the preceding layer keeps its "inner" definition, and the "outer" TPID
is provided by the subsequent layer, the reverse of how a packet looks like
on the wire:
Wire: [ ETH TPID = A | VLAN EtherType = B | B DATA ]
rte_flow: [ ETH EtherType = B | VLAN TPID = A | B DATA ]
Worse, when QinQ is involved, the stacking order of VLAN layers is
unspecified. It is unclear whether it should be reversed (innermost to
outermost) as well given TPID applies to the previous layer:
Wire: [ ETH TPID = A | VLAN TPID = B | VLAN EtherType = C | C DATA ]
rte_flow 1: [ ETH EtherType = C | VLAN TPID = B | VLAN TPID = A | C DATA ]
rte_flow 2: [ ETH EtherType = C | VLAN TPID = A | VLAN TPID = B | C DATA ]
While specifying EtherType/TPID is hopefully rarely necessary, the stacking
order in case of QinQ and the lack of documentation remain an issue.
This patch replaces TPID in the VLAN pattern item with an inner
EtherType/TPID as is usually done everywhere else (e.g. struct vlan_hdr),
clarifies documentation and updates all relevant code.
It breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:
- rte_flow_copy()
- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_query()
- rte_flow_validate()
Summary of changes for PMDs that implement ETH, VLAN or E_TAG pattern
items:
- bnxt: EtherType matching is supported with and without VLAN, but TPID
matching is not and triggers an error.
- e1000: EtherType matching is only supported with the ETHERTYPE filter,
which does not support VLAN matching, therefore no impact.
- enic: same as bnxt.
- i40e: same as bnxt with existing FDIR limitations on allowed EtherType
values. The remaining filter types (VXLAN, NVGRE, QINQ) do not support
EtherType matching.

E-Tag macro definition.

RSS hash types (ETH_RSS_* macros defined in rte_ethdev.h) describe the
protocol header fields of a packet that must be taken into account while
computing RSS.
When facing encapsulated (e.g. tunneled) packets, there is an ambiguity as
to whether these should apply to inner or outer packets. Applications need
the ability to tell exactly "where" RSS must be performed.
This is addressed by adding encapsulation level information to the RSS flow
action. Its default value is 0 and stands for the usual unspecified
behavior. Other values provide a specific encapsulation level.
Contrary to the change announced by commit 676b605182a5 ("doc: announce
ethdev API change for RSS configuration"), this patch does not affect
struct rte_eth_rss_conf but struct rte_flow_action_rss as the former is not
used anymore by the RSS flow action. ABI impact is therefore limited to
rte_flow.

Since its inception, the rte_flow RSS action has been relying in part on
external struct rte_eth_rss_conf for compatibility with the legacy RSS API.
This structure lacks parameters such as the hash algorithm to use, and more
recently, a method to tell which layer RSS should be performed on [1].
Given struct rte_eth_rss_conf will never be flexible enough to represent a
complete RSS configuration (e.g. RETA table), this patch supersedes it by
extending the rte_flow RSS action directly.
A subsequent patch will add a field to use a non-default RSS hash
algorithm. To that end, a field named "types" replaces the field formerly
known as "rss_hf" and standing for "RSS hash functions" as it was
confusing. Actual RSS hash function types are defined by enum
rte_eth_hash_function.
This patch updates all PMDs and example applications accordingly.

This patch makes the following changes to flow rule actions:
- List order now matters, they are redefined as performed first to last
instead of "all simultaneously".
- Repeated actions are now supported (e.g. specifying QUEUE multiple times
now duplicates traffic among them). Previously only the last action of
any given kind was taken into account.
- No more distinction between terminating/non-terminating/meta actions.
Flow rules themselves are now defined as always terminating unless a
PASSTHRU action is specified.
These changes alter the behavior of flow rules in corner cases in order to
prepare the flow API for actions that modify traffic contents or properties
(e.g. encapsulation, compression) and for which order matter when combined.
Previously one would have to do so through multiple flow rules by combining
PASSTRHU with priority levels, however this proved overly complex to
implement at the PMD level, hence this simpler approach.
This breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:
- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_validate()
PMDs with rte_flow support are modified accordingly:
- bnxt: no change, implementation already forbids multiple actions and does
not support PASSTHRU.

- enic: modified to forbid redundant actions, no support for default drop.
- failsafe: no change needed.

- mlx4: modified to forbid multiple fate-deciding actions and drop when
unspecified.
- mlx5: same as mlx4, with other redundant actions also forbidden.
- sfc: same as mlx4.

Recent NIC models support overlay offload. The overlay offload
feature enables the following on the NIC.
- Rx/Tx checksum offloads for both inner and outer packets.
- Rx inner packet type classification.
- TSO.
- Inner RSS.
TX descriptors do not require any changes, except the header length
for TSO. The NIC parses outer/inner packets and performs offloads on
them as necessary. The header length for tunneled TSO includes both
inner and outer headers.
The NIC actually parses and performs the above for NVGRE as well. DPDK
currently has no offload flags for NVGRE, and the hardware has no
controls to individually enable tunnel types either. So do nothing for
