  Add option "policy-mtr" to indicate if meter creation will include policy
or not. Meter creation will keep same without it.

With "policy-mtr", policy is introduced. API create_meter_policy
is to create a policy. API create_meter_rule will use it to create
meter.

Depends-on: series=16037 ("Support meter policy API ")

It's worthy to mention the current supported policies here, and also what is the default.

This is some fixed behavior, it's not that right to use something like this,
Example of other solution to have option like:
--meter-w-policy=G:<GREEN_ACTIONS>, Y:<YELLOW_ACTIONS>, R:<RED_ACTIONS>
This way it will be easier to use, and more dynamic, it's never right to set fixed actions
For such application.
