Create a new prio in the FDB, it will be used when inserting steering rules
into the FDB from the RDMA side. We create a new PRIO so rules from the
net side and rules from the RDMA side won't be inserted to the same PRIO,
each side has it's own sandbox to play in.

Update the flow steering command formatting according to the extended
destination API.
Note that the FW dictates that multi destination FTEs that involve at
least one encap must use the extended destination format, while single
destination ones must use the legacy format.
Using extended destination format requires FW support. Check for its
capabilities and return error if not supported.

Towards supporting multi-chains and priorities, split the FDB fast path
to multiple namespaces (sub namespaces), each with multiple priorities.
This patch adds a new flow steering type, FS_TYPE_PRIO_CHAINS, which is
like current FS_TYPE_PRIO, but may contain only namespaces, and those
will be in parallel to one another in terms of managing of the flow
tables connections inside them. Meaning, while searching for the next
or previous flow table to connect for a new table inside such namespace
we skip the parallel namespaces in the same level under the
FS_TYPE_PRIO_CHAINS prio we originated from.
We use this new type for splitting the fast path prio into multiple
parallel namespaces, each containing normal prios.
The prios inside them (and their tables) will be connected to one
another, but not from one parallel namespace to another, instead the
last prio in each namespace will be connected to the next prio in
the containing FDB namespace, which is the slow path prio.

Currently, when a flow rule is created using the FS core layer, the caller
has to pass the entire flow counter object and not just the counter HW
handle (ID). This requires both the FS core and the caller to have
knowledge about the inner implementation of the FS layer flow counters
cache and limits the possible users.
Move to use the counter ID across the place when dealing with flows.
Doing this decoupling, now can we privatize the inner implementation
of the flow counters.

There's no real reason for the e-switch logic to manage the creation of
counters for offloaded flows. The API already has the directive for the
caller to denote they want to attach a counter to the created flow.
As such, we go and move the management of flow counters to the mlx5e
tc offload logic. This also lets us remove an inelegant interface where
the FS layer had to provide a way to retrieve a counter from a flow rule.

In order to add a context to the FPGA, we need to get both the software
transform context (which includes the keys, etc) and the
source/destination IPs (which are included in the steering
rule). Therefore, we register new set of firmware like commands for
the FPGA. Each time a rule is added, the steering core infrastructure
calls the FPGA command layer. If the rule is intended for the FPGA,
it combines the IPs information with the software transformation
context and creates the respective hardware transform.
Afterwards, it calls the standard steering command layer.

The has_tag member will indicate whether a tag action was specified
in flow specification.
A flow tag 0 = MLX5_FS_DEFAULT_FLOW_TAG is assumed a valid flow tag
that is currently used by mlx5 RDMA driver, whereas in HW flow_tag = 0
means that the user doesn't care about flow_tag. HW always provide
a flow_tag = 0 if all flow tags requested on a specific flow are 0.
So we need a way (in the driver) to differentiate between a user really
requesting flow_tag = 0 and a user who does not care, in order to be
able to report conflicting flow tags on a specific flow.

Currently when calling mlx5_add_flow_rule we accept
only one flow destination, this commit allows to pass
multiple destinations.
This change forces us to change the return structure to a more
flexible one. We introduce a flow handle (struct mlx5_flow_handle),
it holds internally the number for rules created and holds an array
where each cell points the to a flow rule.
From the consumers (of mlx5_add_flow_rule) point of view this
change is only cosmetic and requires only to change the type
of the returned value they store.
From the core point of view, we now need to use a loop when
allocating and deleting rules (e.g given to us a flow handler).

If a counter has the aging flag set when created, it is added to a list
of counters that will be queried periodically from a workqueue. query
result and last use timestamp are cached.
add/del counter must be very efficient since thousands of such
operations might be issued in a second.
There is only a single reference to counters without aging, therefore
no need for locks.
But, counters with aging enabled are stored in a list. In order to make
