[PATCH] net/iavf: add support for QinQ insertion

QinQ insertion with VLAN TPID 0x88a8 support is absent.

This patch adds support for QinQ insertion for both
Outer VLAN TPIDs 0x88a8 (802.1ad) & 0x8100 (802.1Q).
VLAN Extend should be enabled for the same and Outer
VLAN TPID should be set properly for TPID 0x88a8.

+QinQ Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When using QinQ Tx offload (``RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_QINQ_INSERT``),
+you must also enable ``RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_EXTEND``
+to configure the hardware for double VLAN mode.
+Without this, only the inner VLAN tag will be inserted.
+
+Example::
+
+  struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = {
+      .rxmode = {
+          .offloads = RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_EXTEND,
+      },
+      .txmode = {
+          .offloads = RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_QINQ_INSERT,
+      },
+  };
