Presently, Rx metadata is sent to PMD by default, leading
to a performance drop as processing for the same in Rx path
takes extra cycles.
Hence, adding a new eth port configuration filed,
'nic_to_pmd_rx_metadata', to control NIC to PMD Rx metadata
negotiation.
Also, reset dev_configured flag as part of device reset, this helps
in reconfiguring porting cleanly. Rx metadata negotiation,
rte_eth_rx_metadata_negotiate(), is allowed only when dev_configured
flag is reset.

v4:
- As per spec rte_eth_rx_metadata_negotiate() is processed only when
dev_configured is set. Hence can't enable automatically when a flow
command requests metadata.
- Add new testpmd command to allow NIC to PMD Rx metadata negotiation.
v3:
- Updated run_app.rst with the new command line argument,
nic-to-pmd-rx-metadata.
- Updated commit text.
v2:
- taken cared alignment issues
- renamed command line argument from rx-metadata to nic-to-pmd-rx-metadata
- renamed variable name from rx-metadata to nic_to_pmd_rx_metadata
