vhost: fix offload flags in Rx path
The vhost library currently configures Tx offloading (PKT_TX_*) on any
packet received from a guest virtio device which asks for some offloading.
This is problematic, as Tx offloading is something that the application
must ask for: the application needs to configure devices
to support every used offloads (ip, tcp checksumming, tso..), and the
various l2/l3/l4 lengths must be set following any processing that
happened in the application itself.
On the other hand, the received packets are not marked wrt current
packet l3/l4 checksumming info.
Copy virtio rx processing to fix those offload flags with some
differences:
- accept VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN and VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP,
- ignore anything but the VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM flag (to comply with
the virtio spec),
Some applications might rely on the current behavior, so it is left
untouched by default.
A new RTE_VHOST_USER_NET_COMPLIANT_OL_FLAGS flag is added to enable the
new behavior.
The vhost example has been updated for the new behavior: TSO is applied to
any packet marked LRO.
