Flow Objective implementation
Provides an abstraction which isolates the application from any pipeline
knowledge. By using the provided objectives applications can express
their forwarding desires in a pipeline agnostic way. The objectives
are then consumed by a driver for the specific device who converts them
into the appropriate pipeline coherent flows.
