Test suite for verifying checksum hardware offload through the
PMD works as expected. This is done by checking the verbose output in
testpmd while in csum forwarding mode, specifically the ol_flags
section, to ensure they match the flags in the test plan. However, 
there are a few issues I noticed while writing the suite that made
me hesitant to submit a patch:

1. SCTP hardware offload is not supported on any of the NICs I tested
on. I've tried this on mlx5, i40e, and bnxt drivers and none of them
support it. SCTP offload is used as part of almost every test case, so I
removed SCTP packets from the suite entirely. I intend to keep it that
way unless anyone is able to use the command "csum set sctp hw 0"
without an "SCTP not supported" error.
2. There are two Tx checksum test cases, which involve checking the Tx
flags section of verbose output to ensure they match the ones in the
test plan. However, the Tx flags don't appear to change at all
depending on what packet you send to testpmd, which leaves me with no
way to verify correct behavior. I'm considering removing the Tx cases
entirely, but they are a large chunk of the suite so if anyone disagrees
I can look for more of a workaround.

If anyone has any comments or advice about the issues above it is
greatly appreciated.

Port over checksum hardware offload testing suite from old DTS. The
suite verifies the ability of the PMD to recognize whether an incoming
packet has valid or invalid L4/IP checksum values.

v1: In the original test plan, there were two Tx checksum test cases. I
removed them due to the lack of consistency in testpmd with Tx checksum
flags, either not being displayed during packet transmission or showing
values that did not align with the original test plan.
