vlib: refactor checksum offload support

Type: refactor

This patch refactors the offload flags in vlib_buffer_t.
There are two main reasons behind this refactoring.
First, offload flags are insufficient to represent outer
and inner headers offloads. Second, room for these flags
in first cacheline of vlib_buffer_t is also limited.

This patch introduces a generic offload flag in first
cacheline. And detailed offload flags in 2nd cacheline
of the structure for performance optimization.
