[PATCH 2/3] net: add VLAN insert function with a TPID argument

rte_vlan_insert() hardcodes EtherType 0x8100 (802.1Q). This is wrong
when reinserting a stripped tag whose original TPID was 0x88a8 (802.1ad
QinQ).
Add rte_vlan_insert_tpid() which takes an explicit tpid parameter, and
rewrite rte_vlan_insert() as a wrapper that passes RTE_ETHER_TYPE_VLAN.
