Introduce l{2,3,4}_hdr_offset fields in the buffer metadata

To save space in the first cacheline following is changed:

- total_length_not_including_first_buffer moved to the 2nd cacheline.
This field is used only when VLIB_BUFFER_TOTAL_LENGTH_VALID and
VLIB_BUFFER_NEXT_PRESENT are both set.

- free_list_index is now stored in 4bits inside flags, which
allows up to 16 free lists. In case we need more we can store index
in the 2nd cachelin
