In current codes, tunnel configuration information is not stored in a device configuration, and it will get nothing if application want to retrieve tunnel config, so I think it is necessary
to add rte_eth_dev_tunnel_configure() function is to do the configurations including flow and classification information and store it in a device configuration.
And tunneling packet encapsulation operation will benifit from the change.
v2 change:
Add more description for the change.

* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_tunnel_flow in order to extend new fileds to support
tunneling packet configuration in unified tunneling APIs. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI
changes, but release 2.3 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
