net/ixgbe: remove option to disable offload flags

Having packets received without any offload flags given in the mbuf is not
very useful, and performance tests with testpmd indicates little
benefit is got with the current code by turning off the flags. This makes
the build-time option pointless, so we can remove it.

-~~~~~~~

-By default, using CONFIG_RTE_IXGBE_RX_OLFLAGS_ENABLE=y:
-
-.. code-block:: console

-    ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -l 8-9 -n 4 -- -i --burst=32 --rxfreet=32 --mbcache=250 --txpt=32 --rxht=8 --rxwt=0 --txfreet=32 --txrst=32 --txqflags=0xf01

-When CONFIG_RTE_IXGBE_RX_OLFLAGS_ENABLE=n, better performance can be achieved:
-
-.. code-block:: console
