[dpdk-dev] [RFC] security: add option to configure tunnel header verification

[Tejasree Kondoj <ktejasree@marvell.com>]

Add option to indicate whether outer header verification
need to be done as part of inbound IPsec processing.

With inline IPsec processing, SA lookup would be happening
in the Rx path of rte_ethdev. When rte_flow is configured to
support more than one SA, SPI would be used to lookup SA.
In such cases, additional verification would be required to
ensure duplicate SPIs are not getting processed in the inline path.

For lookaside cases, the same option can be used by application
to offload tunnel verification to the PMD.

These verifications would help in averting possible DoS attacks.
