[PATCH] app/testpmd: fix VXLAN-GPE and GENEVE custom port parsing

The csum forwarding engine parses packets with rte_net_get_ptype(),
which recognizes VXLAN-GPE and GENEVE tunnels only on their default UDP
ports. Since the switch to that API, --vxlan-gpe-port and
--geneve-parsed-port no longer take effect: a packet whose outer UDP
destination port matches a configured non-default port is not detected
as a tunnel, so tunnel Tx flags, outer checksum handling and tunnel TSO
are skipped.
When parse-tunnel is enabled and the outer UDP port matches one of those
options, temporarily present the corresponding default port to
rte_net_get_ptype() and restore the original port afterwards. This reuses
the existing parser without a new library API. Plain VXLAN is unchanged:
the csum engine has always recognized it only on RTE_VXLAN_DEFAULT_PORT,
and rx_vxlan_port configures the device filter rather than this parser.
Only process inner checksums when the parser identified an inner IP
header and all declared inner headers fit in the packet. This preserves
tunnel forwarding for valid non-IP payloads and avoids accessing
truncated inner headers on both default and configured tunnel ports.
Fixes: 76730c7b9b5a ("app/testpmd: use packet type parsing API")
