Description

Currently, consumers such as OPTE need to manually check certain header validity properties on parsed packets -- mainly IP and Geneve version fields. It would be nice to include these as part of the packet definition, and factor them into (de)parsing.

These should be optional -- ideally parsed packets which pass muster would have this represented as a distinct typestate.
