  Add actions:
- INC_TCP_SEQ - Increase sequence number in the outermost TCP header.
- DEC_TCP_SEQ - Decrease sequence number in the outermost TCP header.
- INC_TCP_ACK - Increase acknowledgment number in the outermost TCP
		header.
- DEC_TCP_ACK - Decrease acknowledgment number in the outermost TCP
		header.

Original work by Xiaoyu Min.

This patch introduces a new approach, using a simple integer instead
of using an action-specific structure for each of these actions.
This approach can be later applied to modify existing actions which
require only a single integer.

If we allow it, may be we should fix at least experimental API and
remove dummy structures.

I think ideally it should be a pre-patch which allows to avoid structures.
Right now it is a mixture of two logical changes.

There is no  rte_flow_integer_action, please, fix.

Yep, I agree we need to split patches and affected experimental APIs should
be modified as well, although the latter part can be done in a third patch,
possibly a whole separate series since a number of "fix" patches might be
needed. This series has been waiting long enough already.

Ditto, otherwise looks good to me too, we're almost there!

Dekel: this looks so much cleaner without those pesky structures :)
