Add API to offload meter to HW, and the corresponding functions to call
the meter callbacks from all the registered flow API providers.
The interfaces are like those related to meter in dpif_class, in order
to pass necessary info to HW.

Expose functions reporting user configuration of offloading threads, as
well as utility functions for multithreading.
This will only expose the configuration knob to the user, while no
datapath will implement the multiple thread request.
This will allow implementations to use this API for offload thread
management in relevant layers before enabling the actual dataplane
implementation.
The offload thread ID is lazily allocated and can as such be in a
different order than the offload thread start sequence.
The RCU thread will sometime access hardware-offload objects from
a provider for reclamation purposes. In such case, it will get
a default offload thread ID of 0. Care must be taken that using
this thread ID is safe concurrently with the offload threads.

When the HW offload involves multiple flows, like in tunnel decap path,
it is possible that not all flows in the path are offloaded, resulting
in partial processing in HW. In order to proceed with rest of the
processing in SW, the packet state has to be recovered as if it was
processed in SW from the beginning. In the case of tunnel decap,
potential state to recover could be the outer tunneling layer to
metadata.
Add an API for that.

The n_offloaded_flows counter is saved in dpif, and this is the first
one when ofproto is created. When flow operation is done by ovs-appctl
commands, such as, dpctl/add-flow, a new dpif is opened, and the
n_offloaded_flows in it can't be used. So, instead of using counter,
the number of offloaded flows is queried from each netdev, then sum
them up. To achieve this, a new API is added in netdev_flow_api to get
how many flows assigned to a netdev.
In order to get better performance, this number is calculated directly
from tc_to_ufid hmap for netdev-offload-tc, because flow dumping by tc
takes much time if there are many flows offloaded.

In order to improve revalidator performance by minimizing unnecessary
copying of data, extend netdev-offloads to support terse dump mode. Extend
netdev_flow_api->flow_dump_create() with 'terse' bool argument. Implement
support for terse dump in functions that convert netlink to flower and
flower to match. Set flow stats "used" value based on difference in number
of flow packets because lastuse timestamp is not included in TC terse dump.
Kernel API support is implemented in following patch.

Flow API providers renamed to be consistent with parent module
'netdev-offload' and look more like each other.
'_rte_' replaced with more convenient '_dpdk_'.
We'll have following structure:
Common code:
lib/netdev-offload-provider.h
lib/netdev-offload.c
lib/netdev-offload.h
Providers:
lib/netdev-offload-tc.c
lib/netdev-offload-dpdk.c
'netdev-offload-dummy' still resides inside netdev-dummy, but it
makes no much sence to move it out of there.

New module 'netdev-offload' created to manage different flow API
implementations. All the generic and provider independent code moved
there from the 'netdev' module.
Flow API providers further encapsulated.
The only function that was changed is 'netdev_any_oor'.
Now it uses offloading related hmap instead of common 'netdev_shash'.

Current issues with Flow API:
* OVS calls offloading functions regardless of successful
flow API initialization. (ex. on init_flow_api failure)
* Static initilaization of Flow API for a netdev_class forbids
having different offloading types for different instances
of netdev with the same netdev_class. (ex. different vports in
'system' and 'netdev' datapaths at the same time)
Solution:
* Move Flow API from the netdev_class to netdev instance.
* Make Flow API dynamic, i.e. probe the APIs and choose the
suitable one.
Side effects:
* Flow API providers localized as possible in their modules.
* Now we have an ability to make runtime checks. For example,
we could check if particular device supports features we
need, like if dpdk device supports RSS+MARK action.
