This is a follow up to the "Flow API helpers enhancements" series submitted
almost a year ago [1]. The new title is due to the reduced scope of this
version.
rte_flow_conv() is a flexible replacement to rte_flow_copy(), itself a
temporary solution pending something better [2]. It replaces a lot of
duplicated code found in testpmd and removes some of the maintenance burden
that developers tend to forget (me included) when modifying pattern
items or actions (updating app/test-pmd/config.c to be clear).
This series was unearthed in order to complete the implementation of
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_ENCAP_(VXLAN|NVGRE) in testpmd [3] without having to
duplicate existing code once again.
See individual patches for specific changes in this version.
v3 changes:
- Marked rte_flow_conv() as experimental, modified net/bonding accordingly.
- Fixed compilation issue on ARM.
- Removed deprecation notice.
v2 changes:
- rte_flow_copy() is kept, albeit deprecated, no API/ABI impact.
- Updated bonding PMD.
- No more automatic generation of rte_flow_conv.h.

[3] Currently the command-line parser (cmdline_flow.c) is aware of these
actions, however config.c isn't. Flow rules with such actions cannot
be created and cannot be validated with PMDs that implement them.
