This commit implements tracking mechanism for linking routing pipeline
output ports to physical NIC ports.
Once all the pipelines of the application are initialised, mechanism is
invoked during post initialisation phase for relating routing pipeline
output with NIC ports by navigating through the intermediate pipelines,
if present.
The tracking functions of the pipelines which help in navigating through
the intermediate pipelines are moved from pipeline_<pipeline_name>_be.c
to pipeline_<pipeline_name>.c. All pipelines except passthrough pipelines
use default tracking function (pipeline/pipeline_common_fe.c).

Currently, there is no mechanism that allows the pipeline ports (in/out)
and table action handlers to override the default forwarding decision
(as previously configured per input port or in the table entry). The port
(in/out) and table action handler prototypes have been changed to allow
pipeline action handlers (port in/out, table) to remove the selected
packets from the further pipeline processing and to take full ownership
for these packets. This feature will be helpful to implement functions
such as exception handling (e.g. TTL =0), load balancing etc.

Added two new cli commands to firewall pipeline. Commands bulk add and
bulk delete takes as argument a file with rules to add/delete. The file
is parsed, and then rules are passed to backend functions which
add/delete records from pipeline tables.
