18218713bf enforce experimental tag at beginning of declarations
Putting a '__attribute__((deprecated))' in the middle of a function
prototype does not result in the expected result with gcc (while clang
is fine with this syntax).

$ cat deprecated.c
void * __attribute__((deprecated)) incorrect() { return 0; }
__attribute__((deprecated)) void *correct(void) { return 0; }
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { incorrect(); correct(); return 0; }
$ gcc -o deprecated.o -c deprecated.c
deprecated.c: In function ‘main’:
deprecated.c:3:1: warning: ‘correct’ is deprecated (declared at
deprecated.c:2) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { incorrect(); correct(); return 0; }
 ^

Move the tag on a separate line and make it the first thing of function
prototypes.
This is not perfect but we will trust reviewers to catch the other not
so easy to detect patterns.

sed -i \
     -e '/^\([^#].*\)\?__rte_experimental */{' \
     -e 's//\1/; s/ *$//; i\' \
     -e __rte_experimental \
     -e '/^$/d}' \
     $(git grep -l __rte_experimental -- '*.h')

Special mention for rte_mbuf_data_addr_default():

There is either a bug or a (not yet understood) issue with gcc.
gcc won't drop this inline when unused and rte_mbuf_data_addr_default()
calls rte_mbuf_buf_addr() which itself is experimental.
This results in a build warning when not accepting experimental apis
from sources just including rte_mbuf.h.

For this specific case, we hide the call to rte_mbuf_buf_addr() under
the ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API flag.

f0e352ddb0 pipeline: add port in action APIs
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.
