Support full pluggable SmartNIC offloads

Registered by Jan Gutter

Currently, there is support for full vrouter offloads in downstream R3.1 and R4.x. This blueprint proposes to implement full offloads in master by using a plugin framework. While this opens the door for third-party plugins, support and testing of them are not expected to fall onto the TF community.
