raw/ioat: add separate API for fence call

Rather than having the fence signalled via a flag on a descriptor - which
requires reading the docs to find out whether the flag needs to go on the
last descriptor before, or the first descriptor after the fence - we can
instead add a separate fence API call. This becomes unambiguous to use,
since the fence call explicitly comes between two other enqueue calls. It
also allows more freedom of implementation in the driver code.

     to better reflect the APIs' purposes, and remove the implication that
     they are limited to copy operations only.
     [Note: The old API is still provided but marked as deprecated in the code]
+  * Added a new API ``rte_ioat_fence()`` to add a fence between operations.
+    This API replaces the ``fence`` flag parameter in the ``rte_ioat_enqueue_copies()`` function,
+    and is clearer as there is no ambiguity as to whether the flag should be
+    set on the last operation before the fence or the first operation after it.
 
 * **Updated the pipeline library for alignment with the P4 language.**
