[v4,00/11] support match on L3 fragmented packets

  This series implements support of matching on packets based on the
fragmentation attribute of the packet, i.e. if packet is a fragment
of a larger packet, or the opposite - packet is not a fragment.

In ethdev, add API to support IPv6 extension headers, and specifically
the IPv6 fragment extension header item.
In MLX5 PMD, support match on IPv4 fragmented packets, IPv6 fragmented
packets, and IPv6 fragment extension header item.
Testpmd CLI is updated accordingly.
Documentation is updated accordingly.

---
v2: add patch 'net/mlx5: enforce limitation on IPv6 next proto'
v3: update patch 'ethdev: add IPv6 fragment extension header item' to avoid ABI breakage.
v4: update rte_flow documentation to clarify use of IPv6 extension header flags.
