Enable user to edit IP header ttl field.
For example, to forward any TCP packet and decrease its TTL by one:
$ tc filter add dev enp0s9 protocol ip parent ffff: \
flower \
ip_proto tcp \
action pedit ex munge \
ip ttl add 0xff pipe \
action mirred egress \
redirect dev veth0

Utilize the extended pedit netlink to set an offset relative to a
specific header type. Old netlink only enabled the user to set
approximated offset relative to the IPv4 header.
To use this extended functionality need to use the 'ex' keyword after
'pedit' and before any 'munge'.
e.g:
$ tc filter add dev ens9 protocol ip parent ffff: \
flower \
ip_proto udp \
dst_port 80 \
action pedit ex munge \
ip dst set 1.1.1.1 \
pipe \
action mirred egress redirect dev veth0

As Jamal suggested, BRANCH is the wrong name, as these keywords go
beyond simple branch control - e.g. loops are possible, too. Therefore
rename the non-terminal to CONTROL instead which should be more
appropriate.
