[PATCH 1/6] ethdev: add insertion by index with pattern

[Alexander Kozyrev]

There are two flow table rules insertion type today:
pattern-based insertion when packets match on the pattern and
index-based insertion when packets always hit at the index.
We need another mode that allows to match on the pattern at
the index: insertion by index with pattern.
