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.
Add two common policy template as macros in the header file,

Hi Li, Haifei,
This patch conflicts with merged integrity check/conntrack features, also the
