net/mlx5e: Support CT offload for tc nic flows
Adding support to perform CT related tc actions and matching on CT states for nic flows. The ct flows management and handling will be done using a new instance of the ct database that is declared in this patch to keep it separate from the eswitch ct flows database. Offloading and unoffloading ct flows will be done using the existing ct offload api by providing it the relevant ct database reference in each mode. In addition, refactoring the tc ct api is introduced to make it agnostic to the flow type and perform the resource allocations and rule insertion to the proper steering domain in the device. In the initialization call, the api requests and stores in the ct database instance all the relevant information that distinguishes between nic flows and esw flows, such as chains database, steering namespace and mod hdr table. This way the operations of adding and removing ct flows to the device can later performed agnostically to the flow type.
