[PATCH bpf RFC-V2 1/5] xdp: rss hash types representation

The RSS hash type specifies what portion of packet data NIC hardware used
when calculating RSS hash value. The RSS types are focused on Internet
traffic protocols at OSI layers L3 and L4. L2 (e.g. ARP) often get hash
value zero and no RSS type. For L3 focused on IPv4 vs. IPv6, and L4
primarily TCP vs UDP, but some hardware supports SCTP.

Hardware RSS types are differently encoded for each hardware NIC. Most
hardware represent RSS hash type as a number. Determining L3 vs L4 often
requires a mapping table as there often isn't a pattern or sorting
according to ISO layer.

The patch introduce a XDP RSS hash type (xdp_rss_hash_type) that can both
be seen as a number that is ordered according by ISO layer, and can be bit
masked to separate IPv4 and IPv6 types for L4 protocols. Room is available
for extending later while keeping these properties. This maps and unifies
difference to hardware specific hashes.

This proposal change the kfunc API bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() to return
this RSS hash type on success.
