The mbuf offload flags do not match the DPDK namespace (they are
not prefixed by RTE_). Announce their rename in 21.11, and the
removal of the old names in 22.11.

A draft coccinelle script is provided to anticipate what the
renaming will be.

+* mbuf: The mbuf offload flags ``PKT_*`` will be renamed as ``RTE_MBUF_F_*``.
+  A compatibility layer will be kept until DPDK 22.11, except for the flags
+  that are already deprecated (ex: ``PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD``), which will
+  be removed.

I think it is better to be explicit with defines to be removed:
PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD, PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_BAD, PKT_TX_QINQ_PKT,
PKT_RX_EIP_CKSUM_BAD.
