net/mlx5: fs, add support for no append at software level

Native capability for some steering engines lacks support for adding an
additional match with the same value to the same flow group. To accommodate
the NO APPEND flag in these scenarios, we include the new rule in the
existing flow table entry (fte) without immediate hardware commitment. When
a request is made to delete the corresponding hardware rule, we then commit
the pending rule to hardware.

Only one pending rule is supported because NO_APPEND is primarily used
during replacement operations. In this scenario, a rule is initially added.
When it needs replacement, the new rule is added with NO_APPEND set. Only
after the insertion of the new rule is the original rule deleted.
