Add support for a new action: psample.

This action accepts a u32 group id and a variable-length cookie and uses
the psample multicast group to make the packet available for
observability.

The maximum length of the user-defined cookie is set to 16, same as
tc_cookie, to discourage using cookies that will not be offloadable.

I didn't thoroughly review this, but just wanted to comment that I like
the idea of a psample action here specific to the actual action that is
being performed on the packet - psample.  Much like we do for userspace
and other actions.

I think this patch looks good. After some offline discussion on alignment with the userspace model, we decided to proceed with a psample() specific action.

With that in mind, and considering the additional changes, this patch looks good to me.
