Currently, the flow meter policy does not support multiple actions
per color; also the allowed action types per color are very limited.
In addition, the policy cannot be pre-defined.
Due to the growing in flow actions offload abilities there is a potential
for the user to use variety of actions per color differently.
This new meter policy API comes to allow this potential in the most ethdev
common way using rte_flow action definition.
A list of rte_flow actions will be provided by the user per color
in order to create a meter policy.
In addition, the API forces to pre-define the policy before
the meters creation in order to allow sharing of single policy
with multiple meters efficiently.
meter_policy_id is added into struct rte_mtr_params.
So that it can get the policy during the meters creation.
