Enable metadata extraction for flexible descriptors in AVF, that would
allow network function directly get metadata without additional parsing
which would reduce the CPU cost for VFs. The enabling metadata
extractions involve the metadata of VLAN/IPv4/IPv6/IPv6-FLOW/TCP/MPLS
flexible descriptors, and the VF could negotiate the capability of
the flexible descriptor with PF and correspondingly configure the
specific offload at receiving queues.

We should add this public header to the API documentation, if that is the only
change I can do while merging. Something like:
diff --git a/doc/api/doxy-api-index.md b/doc/api/doxy-api-index.md
