This patch updates the mangle action representation:
Patch 1) Undo bitwise NOT operation on the mangle mask (coming from tc
pedit userspace).
Patch 2) mangle value &= mask from the front-end side.
Patch 3) adjust offset, length and coalesce consecutive pedit keys into
one single action.
Patch 4) add support for payload mangling for netfilter.
After this patchset:
* Offset to payload does not need to be on the 32-bits boundaries anymore.
This patchset adds front-end code to adjust the offset and length coming
from the tc pedit representation, so drivers get an exact header field
offset and length.
* This new front-end code coalesces consecutive pedit actions into one
single action, so drivers can mangle IPv6 and ethernet address fields
in one go, instead once for each 32-bit word.
On the driver side, diffstat -t shows that drivers code to deal with
payload mangling gets simplified:

Changes since v2:
* Fix is_action_keys_supported() breakage in mlx5 reported by Vlad Buslov.
