[v2,06/10] app/testpmd: implement rte flow table

[Alexander Kozyrev <akozyrev@nvidia.com>]

Add testpmd support for the rte_flow_table API.
Provide the command line interface for the flow
table creation/destruction. Usage example:
  testpmd> flow table 0 create table_id 6
    group 9 priority 4 ingress mode 1
    rules_number 64 item_template 2 action_template 4
  testpmd> flow table 0 destroy table 6
