Add async flow API mode to test-flow-perf application for improved
flow rule insertion performance. The async API allows batching flow
rule creation operations and processing completions in bulk, reducing
per-rule overhead.

New command line options:
  --async: enable async flow API mode
  --async-queue-size=N: size of async queues (default: 1024)
  --async-push-batch=N: flows to batch before push (default: 256)
