[PATCH v2] net: add bit fields to IPv6 header definition

[Gregory Etelson]

DPDK IPv6 header definition combined the `version`, `traffic class`
and `flow label` header fields into a single 32 bits structure member
`vtc_flow`.

The patch expands IPv6 header definition with dedicated structure
members for the `version`, `traffic class` and `flow label` fields.
The `traffic class` is also separated into DS and ECN fields.

The patch also preserves existing `vtc_flow` structure member for
backward compatibility.

v2: 
Replace uint32_t with rte_be32_t.
Split traffic_class into DS and ECN bits.
