net/tap: use libbpf to load new BPF program

There were multiple issues in the RSS queue support in the TAP
driver. This required extensive rework of the BPF support.

Change the BPF loading to use bpftool to
create a skeleton header file, and load with libbpf.
The BPF is always compiled from source so less chance that
source and instructions diverge. Also resolves issue where
libbpf and source get out of sync. The program
is only loaded once, so if multiple rules are created
only one BPF program is loaded in kernel.

The new BPF program only needs a single action.
No need for action and re-classification step.

It also fixes the missing bits from the original.
- supports setting RSS key per flow
- level of hash can be L3 or L3/L4.

net/tap: add infrastructure to build BPF filter

Move the BPF program related code into a subdirectory.
And add a Makefile for building it.

The code depends on include files from iproute2.
But these are not public headers which iproute2 exports
as a package API. Therefore make a local copy here.

The standalone build was also broken because by
commit ef5baf3486e0 ("replace packed attributes")
which introduced __rte_packed into this code.

Add a python program to extract the resulting BPF into
a format that can be consumed by the TAP driver.

Update the documentation.

net/tap: implement RSS using eBPF

TAP PMD is required to support RSS queue mapping based on rte_flow API. An
example usage for this requirement is failsafe transparent switching from a
PCI device to TAP device while keep redirecting packets to the same RSS
queues on both devices.

TAP RSS implementation is based on eBPF programs sent to Linux kernel
through BPF system calls and using netlink messages to reference the
programs as part of traffic control commands.

TC uses eBPF programs as classifiers and actions.
eBPF classification: packets marked with an RSS queue will be directed
to this queue using TC with "skbedit" action.
BPF classifiers are downloaded to the kernel once on TAP creation for
each TAP Rx queue.

eBPF action: calculate the Toeplitz RSS hash based on L3 addresses and
L4 ports. Mark the packet with the RSS queue according the resulting
RSS hash, then reclassify the packet.
BPF actions are downloaded to the kernel for each new RSS rule.

TAP eBPF requires Linux version 4.9 configured with BPF. TAP PMD will
successfully compile on systems with old or non-BPF configured kernels but
RSS rules creation on TAP devices will not be successful
