Add SKF_AD_RXHASH and SKF_AD_CPU to filter ancillary mechanism,
to be able to build advanced filters.

This can help spreading packets on several sockets with a fast
selection, after RPS dispatch to N cpus for example, or to catch a
percentage of flows in one queue.

tcpdump -s 500 "cpu = 1" :

[0] ld CPU
[1] jeq #1  jt 2  jf 3
[2] ret #500
[3] ret #0

# take 12.5 % of flows (average)
tcpdump -s 1000 "rxhash & 7 = 2" :

[0] ld RXHASH
[1] and #7
[2] jeq #2  jt 3  jf 4
[3] ret #1000
[4] ret #0
