ethdev: add traffic management API
This patch introduces the generic ethdev API for the traffic manager
capability, which includes: hierarchical scheduling, traffic shaping,
congestion management, packet marking.
Main features:
- Exposed as ethdev plugin capability (similar to rte_flow)
- Capability query API per port, per level and per node
- Scheduling algorithms: Strict Priority (SP), Weighed Fair Queuing (WFQ)
- Traffic shaping: single/dual rate, private (per node) and shared (by
multiple nodes) shapers
- Congestion management for hierarchy leaf nodes: algorithms of tail drop,
head drop, WRED; private (per node) and shared (by multiple nodes) WRED
contexts
- Packet marking: IEEE 802.1q (VLAN DEI), IETF RFC 3168 (IPv4/IPv6 ECN for
TCP and SCTP), IETF RFC 2597 (IPv4 / IPv6 DSCP)
