[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/4] security: add reserved bitfields

In struct rte_security_ipsec_sa_options, for every new option
added, there is an ABI breakage, to avoid, a reserved_opts
bitfield is added to for the remaining bits available in the
structure.
Now for every new sa option, these reserved_opts can be reduced
and new option can be added. A corresponding exception is also
added in devtools/libabigail.abignore
