[PATCH v2 08/15] net/txgbe: add offload support for tunnel type UDP

The non-standard RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_UDP tunnel type (UDP
encapsulation carrying either VXLAN or GENEVE) is not handled:
txgbe_set_xmit_ctx() falls into the "unknown tunnel type" case and
txgbe_get_tun_len() cannot compute the tunnel length, so tunneled
packets are sent with a wrong descriptor or dropped.

Resolve RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_UDP by parsing the UDP destination
port in a local variable instead of rewriting the mbuf: the
application still owns the mbuf and may re-transmit it (cloned or
multicast paths), so a second pass would otherwise see the resolved
VXLAN/GENEVE type instead of UDP. The outer_l2_len/outer_l3_len
used for the offset are application supplied and not validated by
the driver, so check the rte_pktmbuf_read() result and fall back to
a zero tunnel length on a short or mis-annotated packet. Use
RTE_GENEVE_DEFAULT_PORT for the GENEVE destination port.
