Ilya Maximets 5fc5c50f3d netdev: Dynamic per-port Flow API.
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.
