Provide an API to let the application control the NIC's ability to
deliver specific kinds of per-packet metadata to the PMD.

Checks for the NIC's ability to set these kinds of metadata in the
first place (support for the flow actions) belong in flow API
responsibility domain (flow validate mechanism).
This topic is out of scope of the new API in question.

The PMD's ability to deliver received metadata to the user by
virtue of mbuf fields should be covered by mbuf library.
It is also out of scope of the new API in question.
