The mbuf offload flags do not match the DPDK namespace (they are
not prefixed by RTE_). Announce their rename in 21.11, and the
removal of the old names in 22.11.

I think it is better to be explicit with defines to be removed:
PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD, PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_BAD, PKT_TX_QINQ_PKT,
PKT_RX_EIP_CKSUM_BAD.
