When using Verbs flow engine to create flows, GRE Verbs spec was put at
the end of specs list. This created problems for flows matching MPLSoGRE
packets. In generated specs list MPLS spec was put before GRE spec, but
Verbs API requires that MPLS spec must be put in its exact location in
protocol stack.
This patch fixes this behavior. Space for GRE Verbs spec is reserved at
its exact location. MPLS Verbs is inserted at its exact location as
well. GRE spec is filled after all flow items are parsed.

GRE item translation must set inner protocol value.
For that reason the item is not translated inplace when PMD
translation iterates over flow items, but moved after the loop, when
all inner types are discovered.
If PMD does not translate GRE flow item inside the translation loop
it must save the GRE item for access outside the loop.

This commit adds the queue and RSS action. Similar to the jump action,
dynamic ones will be added to the action construct list.
Due to the queue and RSS action in template should not be destroyed
during port restart, the actions are created with standalone indirect
table as indirect action does. When port stops, detaches the indirect
table from action, when port starts, attaches the indirect table back
to the action.
One more change is made to accelerate the action creation. Currently
the mlx5_hrxq_get() function returns the object index instead of object
pointer. This introduced an extra converting the index to the object by
calling mlx5_ipool_get() in most of the case. And that extra converting
hurts multi-thread performance since mlx5_ipool_get() uses the global
lock inside. As the hash Rx queue object itself also contains the index,
returns the object directly will achieve better performance without the
global lock.

To optimize datapath, the mlx5 pmd checked for mark action on flow
creation, and flagged possible destination rxqs (through queue/RSS
actions), then it enabled the mark action logic only for flagged rxqs.
Mark action didn't work if no queue/rss action was in the same flow,
even when the user use multi-group logic to manage the flows.
So, if mark action is performed in group X and the packet is moved to
group Y > X when the packet is forwarded to Rx queues, SW did not get
the mark ID to the mbuf.
Flag Rx datapath to report mark action for any queue when the driver
detects the first mark action after dev_start operation.

During the device spawn process, mlx5 PMD queried the available flow

These functions created the test flows to get the supported fields, and

The RSS hash types defined in the API do not support setting the L4 proto
type (TCP or UDP) without setting the L3 proto. For example, ETH_RSS_TCP
is defined as
(ETH_RSS_NONFRAG_IPV4_TCP | \
ETH_RSS_NONFRAG_IPV6_TCP | \
ETH_RSS_IPV6_TCP_EX).
The L3 proto of the RSS hash type may be different than the one defined
in the pattern, for example:
testpmd> flow create .../ ipv4 / tcp / end actions rss types ipv6-tcp-ex
end / end
If the RSS hash type also includes L4 proto type as in the above example,
the selection flags for the RX hash are currently set with SPORT/DPORT
without setting SRC/DST IP. As this combination is not supported, it does
not match any of the pre-created TIRs of the indirect RSS action
and the flow creation fails.
The fix is to prevent setting the selection flags for the RX hash with
SPORT/DPORT without setting SRC/DST IP. It applies non-RSS processing of
the received packets. In case of indirect RSS action, it will match the
MLX5_RSS_HASH_NONE pre-created TIR.

Existing API supports counter action to count traffic of a single flow.
The user can share the count action among different flows using the
shared flag and the same counter ID in the count action configuration.
Recent patch [1] introduced the indirect action API.
Using this API, an action can be created as indirect, unattached to any
flow rule.
Multiple flows can then be created using the same indirect action.
The new API also supports query operation of an indirect action.
The new API is more efficient because the driver gets it's own handler
for the count action instead of managing a mapping between the user ID
to the driver handle.
Support create, query and destroy indirect action operations for flow
count action.
Application will use the indirect action query operation to query this
count action.
In the meantime the old sharing mechanism (with the sharing flag)
continues to be supported, and the user can choose the way he wants to
share the counter.
The new indirect action API is only supported in DevX, so sharing
counter action in Verbs can only be done through the old mechanism.
