This is a follow up to the "Flow API helpers enhancements" series submitted almost a year ago [1]. The new title is due to the reduced scope of this version.
rte_flow_conv() is a flexible replacement to rte_flow_copy(), itself a temporary solution pending something better [2]. It replaces a lot of duplicated code found in testpmd and removes some of the maintenance burden that developers tend to forget (me included) when modifying pattern item or actions (updating app/test-pmd/config.c to be clear). This series was unearthed in order to complete the implementation of RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_ENCAP_(VXLAN|NVGRE) in testpmd [3] without having to duplicate existing code once again. See individual patches for specific changes in this version. v2 changes: - rte_flow_copy() is kept, albeit deprecated, no API/ABI impact. - Updated bonding PMD. - No more automatic generation of rte_flow_conv.h.

Flow rules with such actions cannot be created and cannot be validated with PMDs that implement them.
