compressdev: replace mbuf scatter gather flag

The current mbuf scatter gather feature flag is
too ambiguous, as it is not clear if input and/or output
buffers can be scatter gather mbufs or not.

Therefore, three new flags will replace this flag:
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_SGL_OUT
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_FB_OUT
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_LB_IN_SGL_OUT

Note that out-of-place flat buffers is supported by default
and in-place is not supported by the library.

    - "Pass-through" feature flag refers to the ability of the PMD
