The RFC introduces Stateful Flow Table (SFT) API and changes needed in
both ethdev an RTE flow to support SFT functionality.

SFT library provides a framework for applications that need to maintain
context across different packets of the connection.

The goals of the SFT library:
- Accelerate flow recognition & its context retrieval for further
  lookaside processing.
- Enable context-aware flow handling offload.

Change log:
v3:
- add change log.
- change to RFC

v2:
- Add queue approach in the SFT.
- Move to ethdev.
- update based on ML commentes.
