Extend modify_field Flow API with support of Meter Color Marker
modifications. It allows setting the DS field of a packet to any
color marker: green, yellow or red. User is able to specify
an initial packet color for Meter API or create simple Metering
and Marking flow rules based on his own coloring alghorithm.
