ethdev: get meter profile/policy objects

Introduce a new Meter API to retrieve a Meter profile and policy
objects using the profile/policy ID previously created with
meter_profile_add() and meter_policy_create() functions.
That allows to save the pointer and avoid any lookups in the
corresponding lists for quick access during a flow rule creation.
Also, it eliminates the need for CIR, CBS and EBS calculations
and conversion to a PMD-specific format when the profile is used.
Pointers are destroyed and cannot be used after the corresponding
meter_profile_delete() or meter_policy_delete() are called.

As rte_flow_action_handle_create/destroy/update() have their own
asynchronous rte_flow_async_action_handle_create/destroy/update()
version functions to accelerate the indirect action operations in
queue based flow engine. Currently, the asynchronous version query
function for indirect action was missing.

Add rte_flow_async_action_handle_query() function corresponding
to rte_flow_action_handle_query(). The new asynchronous version
function enables enqueue the query to the hardware similar as
asynchronous flow management does and returns immediately to free
the CPU for other tasks. Application can get the query results from
rte_flow_pull() when the hardware completes its work.

ethdev: bring in async queue-based flow rules operations

A new, faster, queue-based flow rules management mechanism is needed for
applications offloading rules inside the datapath. This asynchronous
and lockless mechanism frees the CPU for further packet processing and
reduces the performance impact of the flow rules creation/destruction
on the datapath. Note that queues are not thread-safe and the queue
should be accessed from the same thread for all queue operations.
It is the responsibility of the app to sync the queue functions in case
of multi-threaded access to the same queue.

The rte_flow_async_create() function enqueues a flow creation to the
requested queue. It benefits from already configured resources and sets
unique values on top of item and action templates. A flow rule is enqueued
on the specified flow queue and offloaded asynchronously to the hardware.
The function returns immediately to spare CPU for further packet
processing. The application must invoke the rte_flow_pull() function
to complete the flow rule operation offloading, to clear the queue, and to
receive the operation status. The rte_flow_async_destroy() function
enqueues a flow destruction to the requested queue.

ethdev: add flow item/action templates

Treating every single flow rule as a completely independent and separate
entity negatively impacts the flow rules insertion rate. Oftentimes in an
application, many flow rules share a common structure (the same item mask
and/or action list) so they can be grouped and classified together.
This knowledge may be used as a source of optimization by a PMD/HW.

The pattern template defines common matching fields (the item mask) without
values. The actions template holds a list of action types that will be used
together in the same rule. The specific values for items and actions will
be given only during the rule creation.

A table combines pattern and actions templates along with shared flow rule
attributes (group ID, priority and traffic direction). This way a PMD/HW
can prepare all the resources needed for efficient flow rules creation in
the datapath. To avoid any hiccups due to memory reallocation, the maximum
number of flow rules is defined at the table creation time.

The flow rule creation is done by selecting a table, a pattern template
and an actions template (which are bound to the table), and setting unique
values for the items and actions.

ethdev: introduce flow engine configuration

The flow rules creation/destruction at a large scale incurs a performance
penalty and may negatively impact the packet processing when used
as part of the datapath logic. This is mainly because software/hardware
resources are allocated and prepared during the flow rule creation.

In order to optimize the insertion rate, PMD may use some hints provided
by the application at the initialization phase. The rte_flow_configure()
function allows to pre-allocate all the needed resources beforehand.
These resources can be used at a later stage without costly allocations.
Every PMD may use only the subset of hints and ignore unused ones or
fail in case the requested configuration is not supported.

The rte_flow_info_get() is available to retrieve the information about
supported pre-configurable resources. Both these functions must be called
before any other usage of the flow API engine.

ethdev: add capability to keep flow rules on restart

Previously, it was not specified what happens to the flow rules
when the device is stopped, possibly reconfigured, then started.
If flow rules were kept, it could be convenient for application
developers, because they wouldn't need to save and restore them.
However, due to the number of flows and possible creation rate it is
impractical to save all flow rules in DPDK layer. This means that flow
rules persistence really depends on whether PMD and HW can implement it
efficiently. It can also be limited by the rule item and action types,
and its attributes transfer bit (a combination of an item/action type
and a value of the transfer bit is called a rule feature).

Add a device capability bit for PMDs that can keep at least some
of the flow rules across restart. Without this capability behavior
is still unspecified and it is declared that the application must
flush the rules before stopping the device.
Allow the application to test for persistence of rules using
a particular feature by attempting to create a flow rule
using that feature when the device is stopped
and checking for the specific error.
This is logical because if the PMD can to create the flow rule
when the device is not started and use it after the start happens,
it is natural that it can move its internal flow rule object
to the same state when the device is stopped and restore the state
when the device is started.

Rule persistence across a reconfigurations is not required,
because tracking all the rules and configuration-dependent resources
they use may be infeasible. In case a PMD cannot keep the rules
across reconfiguration, it is allowed just to report an error.
Application must then flush the rules before attempting it.
