Yuan Wang 629dad3ef3 net/ice: support buffer split in scalar Rx 
Add support for protocol based buffer split in normal Rx
data paths. When the Rx queue is configured with specific protocol type,
packets received will be directly split into protocol header and
payload parts. And the two parts will be put into different mempools.

Currently, protocol based buffer split is not supported in vectorized
paths.

A new API ice_buffer_split_supported_hdr_ptypes_get() has been
introduced, it will return the supported header protocols of ice PMD
to app for splitting.

Features Overview
=================
This section explains the supported features that are listed in the
:doc:`overview`.
As a guide to implementers it also shows the structs where the features are
defined and the APIs that can be use to get/set the values.
Following tags used for feature details, these are from driver point of view:
``[uses]`` : Driver uses some kind of input from the application.
``[implements]`` : Driver implements a functionality.
``[provides]`` : Driver provides some kind of data to the application. It is possible
to provide data by implementing some function, but "provides" is used
for cases where provided data can't be represented simply by a function.
``[related]`` : Related API with that feature.
