[PATCH 1/4] ethdev: introduce encap hash calculation

[Ori Kam]

During the encapsulation of a packet, it is expected to calculate the
hash value which is based on the original packet (the outer values,
which will become the inner values).

The tunnel protocol defines which tunnel field should hold this hash,
but it doesn't define the hash calculation algorithm.

An application that uses flow offloads gets the first few packets
and then decides to offload the flow. As a result, there are two
different paths that a packet from a given flow may take.
SW for the first few packets or HW for the rest.
When the packet goes through the SW, the SW encapsulates the packet
and must use the same hash calculation as the HW will do for
the rest of the packets in this flow.

This patch gives the SW a way to query the hash value
for a given packet as if the packet was passed through the HW.

+Calculate encap hash
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Calculating hash of a packet in SW as it would be calculated in HW for the encap action
+
+When the HW execute an encapsulation action, it may calculate an hash value which is based
+on the original packet. This hash is stored depending on the encapsulation protocol, in one
+of the outer fields.
+
+This function allows the application to calculate the hash for a given packet as if the
+encapsulation was done in HW.
