Implement support for classifier/action terse dump using new TCA_DUMP_FLAGS
tlv with only available flag value TCA_DUMP_FLAGS_TERSE. Set the flag when
user requested it with following example CLI:

> tc -s filter show terse dev ens1f0 ingress

In terse mode dump only outputs essential data needed to identify the
filter and action (handle, cookie, etc.) and stats, if requested by the
user. The intention is to significantly improve rule dump rate by omitting
all static data that do not change after rule is created.
