net/mlx5: Split FDB fast path prio to multiple namespaces
Towards supporting multi-chains and priorities, split the FDB fast path to multiple namespaces (sub namespaces), each with multiple priorities. This patch adds a new flow steering type, FS_TYPE_PRIO_CHAINS, which is like current FS_TYPE_PRIO, but may contain only namespaces, and those will be in parallel to one another in terms of managing of the flow tables connections inside them. Meaning, while searching for the next or previous flow table to connect for a new table inside such namespace we skip the parallel namespaces in the same level under the FS_TYPE_PRIO_CHAINS prio we originated from. We use this new type for splitting the fast path prio into multiple parallel namespaces, each containing normal prios. The prios inside them (and their tables) will be connected to one another, but not from one parallel namespace to another, instead the last prio in each namespace will be connected to the next prio in the containing FDB namespace, which is the slow path prio.
