octeon: add support for vnet generic flow type
This patch adds vnet generic flow type support in OCTEON plugin, which extends the existing vnet flow types supported. It allows users to configure additional match patterns like 802.1q tag fields, 802.1ad tag fields, MPLS fields, IP DSCP etc., if supported by the underlying hardware. On OCTEON various match patterns including user defined custom protocol types can be supported depending on the programmable classification profile. Generic flows operate based on hexadecimal strings representing packet data bytes and corresponding mask data bytes. The mask data bytes, with bits set to '1', selectively identify the data bytes used for hardware flow matching. To configure generic flow rules, packetforge tool is recommended which accepts inputs in a user readable and friendly format. This tool is available in VPP tree under `extras/packetforge`. Detailed instructions can be found in the documentation under `extras/packetforge`. Additionally user can use existing vnet flow CLI and binary API interfaces to configure rules manually.
