nfp: add L4 RSS hashing on UDP traffic



Add layer 4 RSS hashing on UDP traffic to allow for the
utilization of multiple queues for multiple connections on
the same IP address.

Previously, since the introduction of the driver, RSS hashing
was only performed on the source and destination IP addresses
of UDP packets thereby limiting UDP traffic to a single queue
for multiple connections on the same IP address. The transport
layer is now included in RSS hashing for UDP traffic, which
was not previously the case. The reason behind the previous
limitation is unclear - either a historic limitation of the
NFP device, or an oversight.
