Use the reserved 16 bits in rte_mbuf structure for the outer vlan,
also add QinQ offloading flags for both RX and TX sides.

Yet another change that is much needed, but breaks ABI compatibility.

Even just use the reserved 16 bits? It seems yes.
Would it be acceptable to use the original name of 'reserved' for the outer vlan?
And then announce the name change, and rename it one release after?
