[PATCH] net: add bit fields to IPv6 header definition

[Gregory Etelson]

DPDK IPv6 header definition combined the `version`, `traffic class`
and `flow label` header fields into a single 32 bits structure member
`vtc_flow`.

The patch expands IPv6 header definition with dedicated structure
members for the `version`, `traffic class` and `flow label` fields.
The patch also preserves existing `vtc_flow` structure member for
backward compatibility.
