We create a fib object with a type: either RTE_FIB_DUMMY or
RTE_FIB_DIR24_8 (separate topic, we probably do not need
RTE_FIB_TYPE_MAX).

This lookup API is dir24_8 specific.
If we won't abstract the lookup selection type, why not change this
API as dir24_8 specific?
I.e. s/rte_fib_set_lookup_fn/rte_fib_dir24_8_set_lookup_fn/g

The same would apply to FIB6 trie implementation.
