Support offload of output action, also configuring count action for
allowing query statistics of HW offloaded flows.

+Matches and actions are programmed into HW to achieve full offload of
+the flow. If not all actions are supported, fallback to partial flow
+offload (offloading matches only). Moreover, it only works with PMD

+Partial flow offload requires support of "MARK + RSS" actions. Full
+hardware offload requires support of the actions listed below.
 
 The validated NICs are:
 
 - Mellanox (ConnectX-4, ConnectX-4 Lx, ConnectX-5)
 - Napatech (NT200B01)

+- Output (a single output, as the last action).
