This commit introduces extension of DPDK flow action API enabling
modification of single rte_flow_action.

Motivation and example
===
Adding or removing one or more queues to RSS actions cloned in multiple
flow rules imposes per rule toll for current DPDK flow API; the scenario
requires for each flow sharing cloned RSS action:
- call `rte_flow_destroy()`
- call `rte_flow_create()` with modified RSS action

In order to prevent the overhead of multiple RSS flow rules reconfiguration
API for in-place flow action modification introduced in this commit.

Change description
===
Provide an API to create single rte_flow_action context to point/reference
rte_flow_action object contents from multiple rte_flow_rule objects.
Actually the introduced API makes action object shared and modification
of such an action effects all the rules referencing the action via context
(see struct rte_flow_action_ctx).

Action context lifetime
---
Once action context created (see rte_flow_action_ctx_create()) it can be
safely reused for:
- new flow rule creation
- action configuration/state modification
  (see rte_flow_action_ctx_modify())
- action state query (see rte_flow_action_ctx_query())
Once rte_flow_action_ctx_destroy() called the destroyed action context
should not be used i.e. result of the usage undefined.

Action query
---
Provide separate API to query action shared by multiple flows via action
context detached from any specific flow. Taking a counter as an example:
query returns value virtually aggregated across all flow rules referencing
the counter object via action context.

PMD support
---
The support of introduced API is pure PMD specific design and
responsibility for each action type (see struct rte_flow_ops).

testpmd
===
In order to utilize introduced API testpmd cli may implement following
extension create/modify/destroy/query action context iaccordingly

flow action_ctx create {port_id} [index] {action}
flow action_ctx modify {port_id} {index} {action}
flow action_ctx destroy {port_id} {index}
flow action_ctx query {port_id} {index}

example
---
configure rss to queues 1 & 2

testpmd> flow action_ctx create 0 100 rss 1 2

create flow rule utilizing action context

testpmd> flow create 0 ingress \
    pattern eth dst is 0c:42:a1:15:fd:ac / ipv6 / tcp / end \
  actions ctx 100 end / end

add 2 more queues

testpmd> flow action_ctx modify 0 100 rss 1 2 3 4
