Since testpmd is used extensively for benchmarking purposes, we thought it should have minimum features
enabled by default. The default testpmd doesn't have any Rx/Tx offloads enabled(except for FAST FREE),  default
fwd mode being "iofwd" and the Rx metadata is only referenced when dumping packets.

Spec itself is that way i.e "RTE_FLOW_RULE + RX_METADATA_NEGOTIATE(once)"

Isn't it enough if 

#1 We have enough print when rte_flow is being create without negotiation done and ask user to enable rx metadata using
"port config <port_id>..."
#2 Provide testpmd app arg to enable Rx metadata(for example " --rx-metadata") like other features to avoid calling another
command before rte flow create.
