Add new PCP selector for the 8021Qaz APP managed object. As the PCP selector is not part of the 8021Qaz standard, a new non-std extension attribute DCB_ATTR_DCB_APP has been introduced. Also two helper functions to translate between selector and app attribute type has been added. The new selector has been given a value of 255, to minimize the risk of future overlap of std- and non-std attributes. The new DCB_ATTR_DCB_APP is sent alongside the ieee std attribute in the app table. This means that the dcb_app struct can now both contain std- and non-std app attributes. Currently there is no overlap between the selector values of the two attributes. The purpose of adding the PCP selector, is to be able to offload PCP-based queue classification to the 8021Q Priority Code Point table, see 6.9.3 of IEEE Std 802.1Q-2018. PCP and DEI is encoded in the protocol field as 8*dei+pcp, so that a mapping of PCP 2 and DEI 1 to priority 3 is encoded as {255, 10, 3}.
