Extend modify_field Flow API with support of Meter Color Marker
modifications. It allows setting the packet's metadata to any
color marker: green, yellow or red. A user is able to specify
an initial packet color for Meter API or create simple Metering
and Marking flow rules based on his own coloring algorithm.
