net/mlx5: fs_chains: Refactor to detach chains from tc usage

To support more generic chains that will be used on other
namespaces and without tc, refactor to remove the dependency
on tc terms.

net/mlx5e: Fix adding encap rules to slow path

On some devices the ignore flow level cap is not supported and we
shouldn't use it. Setting the dest ft with mlx5_chains_get_tc_end_ft()
already gives the correct end ft if ignore flow level cap is supported
or not.

net/mlx5: Instantiate separate mapping objects for FDB and NIC tables

Currently, the u32 chain id is mapped to u16 value which is stored on
the lower 16 bits of reg_c0 for FDB and reg_b for NIC tables. The
mapping is internally maintained by the chains object. However, with
the introduction of reg_c0 objects the fdb may store more than just
the chain id on reg_c0. This is not relevant for NIC tables.

Separate the chains mapping instantiation for FDB and NIC tables.
Remove the mapping from the chains object. For FDB tables, create
the mapping per eswitch. For NIC tables, create the mapping per tc
table. Pass the corresponding mapping pointer when creating the
chains object.

net/mlx5: Map register values to restore objects

Currently reg_c0 lower 16 bits and reg_b are used to store the chain
id that missed in FDB and NIC tables accordingly. However, the
registers' values may index a restore object, rather than a single u32
value. Different object types can be used to restore mutually exclusive
contexts such as chain id and sample group id.

Use the mapping object to associate an index with a restore object
as a prestep for supporting additional restore types.

net/mlx5: Refactor multi chains and prios support

Decouple the chains infrastructure from eswitch and make
it generic to support other steering namespaces.

The change defines an agnostic data structure to keep
all the relevant information for maintaining flow table
chaining in any steering namespace. Each namespace that
requires table chaining will be required to allocate
such data structure.

The chains creation code will receive the steering namespace
and flow table parameters from the caller so it will operate
agnosticly when creating the required resources to
maintain the table chaining function while Parts of the code
that are relevant to eswitch specific functionality are moved
to eswitch files.
