Add a new raw packet flow that allows specifying generic flow input.
Add the ability to provide masks for fields in flow to allow range of
values.
Add a new behavior switch.
Add the ability to provide behavior arguments to allow rewriting matched
fields with new values. Ex: allows to provide new ip and port addresses
to rewrite the fields of packets matching a filter rule before NAT'ing.
