netdev-afxdp: add new netdev type for AF_XDP.
The patch introduces experimental AF_XDP support for OVS netdev.
AF_XDP, the Address Family of the eXpress Data Path, is a new Linux socket
type built upon the eBPF and XDP technology. It is aims to have comparable
performance to DPDK but cooperate better with existing kernel's networking
stack. An AF_XDP socket receives and sends packets from an eBPF/XDP program
attached to the netdev, by-passing a couple of Linux kernel's subsystems
As a result, AF_XDP socket shows much better performance than AF_PACKET
For more details about AF_XDP, please see linux kernel's
Documentation/networking/af_xdp.rst. Note that by default, this feature is
not compiled in.
