Add a couple intuitive helpers to hide Rx buffer implementation details
in the library and not multiplicate it between drivers. The settings are
sorta optimized for 100G+ NICs, but nothing really HW-specific here.
Use the new page_pool_dev_alloc() to dynamically switch between
split-page and full-page modes depending on MTU, page size, required
headroom etc. For example, on x86_64 with the default driver settings
each page is shared between 2 buffers. Turning on XDP (not in this
series) -> increasing headroom requirement pushes truesize out of 2048
boundary, leading to that each buffer starts getting a full page.
The "ceiling" limit is %PAGE_SIZE, as only order-0 pages are used to
avoid compound overhead. For the above architecture, this means maximum
linear frame size of 3712 w/o XDP.
Not that &libeth_buf_queue is not a complete queue/ring structure for
now, rather a shim, but eventually the libeth-enabled drivers will move
to it, with iavf being the first one.

Not a secret there's a ton of code duplication between two and more Intel
ethernet modules.
Before introducing new changes, which would need to be copied over again,
start decoupling the already existing duplicate functionality into a new
module, which will be shared between several Intel Ethernet drivers.
Add the lookup table which converts 8/10-bit hardware packet type into
a parsed bitfield structure for easy checking packet format parameters,
such as payload level, IP version, etc. This is currently used by i40e,
ice and iavf and it's all the same in all three drivers.
The only difference introduced in this implementation is that instead of
defining a 256 (or 1024 in case of ice) element array, add unlikely()
condition to limit the input to 154 (current maximum non-reserved packet
type). There's no reason to waste 600 (or even 3600) bytes only to not
hurt very unlikely exception packets.
The hash computation function now takes payload level directly as a
pkt_hash_type. There's a couple cases when non-IP ptypes are marked as
L3 payload and in the previous versions their hash level would be 2, not
3. But skb_set_hash() only sees difference between L4 and non-L4, thus
this won't change anything at all.
The module is behind the hidden Kconfig symbol, which the drivers will
select when needed. The exports are behind 'LIBIE' namespace to limit
the scope of the functions.
Not that non-HW-specific symbols will live in yet another module,
libeth. This is done to easily distinguish pretty generic code ready
for reusing by any other vendor and/or for moving the layer up from
the code useful in Intel's 1-100G drivers only.
