This commit includes infrastructure changes for enabling set_masked_X
actions and also adds support for the AVX512 implementation of the
eth_set_addrs action.

This commit introduces the initial infrastructure required to allow
different implementations for OvS actions. The patch introduces action
function pointers which allows user to switch between different action
implementations available. This will allow for more performance and flexibility
so the user can choose the action implementation to best suite their use case.

DPDK datapath operate on batch of packets. To pass the batch of
packets around we use packets array and count. Next patch needs
to associate meta-data with each batch of packets. So Introducing
a batch structure to make handling the metadata easier.

Today dpif-netdev has single metadat for given batch, since one
batch belongs to one port, but soon packets fro single tunnel ports
can belong to different ports, so we need to have per packet metadata.

This change in dpif-netdev allows faster packet processing for devices which
implement batching (netdev-dpdk currently).

This commit introduces a new data structure used for receiving packets from
netdevs and passing them to dpifs.
The purpose of this change is to allow storing some private data for each
packet. The subsequent commits make use of it.

Add basic recirculation infrastructure and user space
data path support for it. The following bond mega flow patch will
make use of this infrastructure.

DPDK can receive multiple packets but current netdev API does
not allow that. Following patch allows dpif-netdev receive batch
of packet in a rx_recv() call for any netdev port. This will be
used by dpdk-netdev.

This helps reduce confusion about when a flow is a flow and when it is
just metadata.

Allowing the packet to be modified by execution allows less data
copying for userspace action execution. Some users of the
dpif_execute already expect that the packet may be modified. This
patch makes this behavior uniform and makes the userspace datapath and
the execution helpers modify the packet as it is being executed.
Userspace action now steals the packet if given permission, as the
packet is normally not needed after it. The only exception is the
sample action, and this is accounted for my keeping track of any
actions that could be following the userspace action.
The packet in dpif_upcall is changed from a pointer to a struct,
allowing the packet to be honest about it's headroom. After this
change the packet can safely be pushed on over the precarious 4 byte
limit earlier allowed by the netlink data preceding the packet.

This moves generic action execution code out of lib/dpif-netedev.c
and into a new file, lib/odp-execute.c.
This is in preparation for using odp_execute_actions()
in lib/odp-util.c to handle recirculation/
