[v3,1/2] ethdev: support query of AGE action

  Existing API supports AGE action to monitor the aging of a flow.
This patch implements RFC [1], introducing the response format for query
of an AGE action.
Application will be able to query the AGE action state.
The response will be returned in the format implemented here.

I think the last_hit_time_valid name should also be changed.
