Currently meter algorithms only supports rate is bytes per second(BPS).
Add packet_mode flag in meter profile parameters data structure.
So that it can meter traffic by packet per second.
When packet_mode is 0, the profile rates and bucket sizes are
specified in bytes per second and bytes
when packet_mode is not 0, the profile rates and bucket sizes are
specified in packets and packets per second.
Add the necessary checks to the existing drivers implementing
the rte_mtr API to makes sure that profiles with
packet_mode set to TRUE are rejected.

Depends-on: series=15998 ("Add ASO meter support in MLX5 PMD")
https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=15998
Above patch is mlx5 patch, but this driver doesn't update mlx5, is above
dependency correct?
And there is apply errors in the set, that is preventing CI to run on it, can
you please rebase on latest master to enable CI?
V2: create a unified patch that contains both the series with
the API changes and the series with the necessary error checks in the
drivers.
V3: Fix comments from Matan and Cristian.
