Thomas Monjalon d1342ea419 mbuf: document guideline for new fields and flags
Since dynamic fields and flags were added in 19.11,
the idea was to use them for new features, not only PMD-specific.

The guideline is made more explicit in doxygen, in the mbuf guide,
and in the contribution design guidelines.

For more information about the original design, see the presentation
https://www.dpdk.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2019/10/DynamicMbuf.pdf

This decision was discussed in the Technical Board:
