Jan Gutter e8f541fa0c Extend port profiles with datapath offload type
TC Offload capabilities have been present in Linux Kernel 4.13 for
hardware offloads. Currently OVS supports offloads (for OVS 2.8 and later)
with similar efforts planned for vrouter (OpenContrail and Tungsten
Fabric).

The existing method in os-vif is to pass the metadata required for
plugging via a VIFPortProfileOVSRepresentor port profile object. This is
used by the 'ovs' reference plugin and the external 'agilio_ovs' plugin.

With 'vrouter' being the third user of such metadata, it would be more
elegant to clean up this interface by using a composition pattern rather
than an inheritance based pattern.
