[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] app/testpmd: fix mpls encap ipv4 version and ihl

According to ietf rfc791 (see [1])

    "The Version field indicates the format of the
    internet header."

    "Internet Header Length (ihl) is the length of the
    internet header in 32 bit words, and thus points
    to the beginning of the data. Note that
    the minimum value for a correct header is 5."

Having version and ihl set to 0 would result in a
corrupted/incorrect encapsulating packet for MPLS,
this commit sets these fields to 4 and 5 respectively
as a default value.

Fixes: 3e77031be855 ("app/testpmd: add MPLSoGRE encapsulation")
Fixes: a1191d39cb57 ("app/testpmd: add MPLSoUDP encapsulation")

v2:
        - Include netinet/ip.h in librte_net/rte_ip.h
          to use existing definitions instead of defining
          our own.

        - Move definitions from testpmd.h to librte_net/rte_ip.h
