Add new Rx offload flag `DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_FLOW_MARK` that can be used to
enable/disable PMDs write to `rte_mbuf::hash::fdir::hi` and
`rte_mbuf::ol_flags` when flow actions `RTE_FLOW_ACTION_MARK` and
`RTE_FLOW_ACTION_FLAG` are enabled.

PMDs notify the validity of `rte_mbuf::hash:fdir::hi` to the applcation
by enabling `PKT_RX_FDIR_ID` flag in `rte_mbuf::ol_flags`.

LGTM, few minor notes below, otherwise

Reviewed-by: Andrew Rybchenko <arybchenko@solarflare.com>

However, it is a long discussion of it in v1 which should be taken into 
account.

I'd not concentrate on rx_mode offloads here. I'd say:
when Rx offload DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_FLOW_MARK is enabled.

Same as above.
