  There is a limitation about copying one header field to another for
the Flow group 0. Such copy action is not allowed there. But setting
a header field with an immediate value is perfrectly fine.
Allow the MODIFY_FIELD RTE action on group 0 in case the source field
is an immediate value or a pointer to it.
