DPDK v1.8.0 makes significant changes to struct rte_mbuf, including
removal of the 'pkt' and 'data' fields. The latter, formally a
pointer, is now calculated via an offset from the start of the
segment buffer. So now dp_packet data is also stored as offset
from base pointer.

Currently dp-packet make use of ofpbuf for managing packet
buffers. That complicates ofpbuf, by making dp-packet
independent of ofpbuf both libraries can be optimized for
their own use case.
This avoids mapping operation between ofpbuf and dp_packet
in datapath upcalls.

dp_packet is short and better name for datapath packet
structure.
