Add new rte_actions to push and remove the specific
type of IPv6 extension to and from original packets.
A new extension to be pushed should be the last extension
due to the next header awareness.
Remove can support the IPv6 extension in any position.

+Action: ``IPV6_EXT_PUSH``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Add an IPv6 extension into IPv6 header and its template is provided in
+its data buffer with the specific type as defined in the
+``rte_flow_action_ipv6_ext_push`` definition.
+
+This action modifies the payload of matched flows. The data supplied must
+be a valid extension in the specified type, it should be added the last one
+if preceding extension existed. When applied to the original packet the
+resulting packet must be a valid packet.
+
+Action: ``IPV6_EXT_REMOVE``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Remove an IPv6 extension whose type is provided in its type as defined in
+the ``rte_flow_action_ipv6_ext_remove``.
+
+This action modifies the payload of matched flow and the packet should be
+valid after removing.
