other-config: Add hw-offload switch to control netdev flow offloading
Add a new configuration option - hw-offload that enables netdev
flow api. Enabling this option will allow offloading flows
using netdev implementation instead of the kernel datapath.
This configuration option defaults to false - disabled.
