net/mlx5: Lag, decouple FDB selection and shared FDB

Multiport eswitch is required to use native FDB selection instead of
affinity, This was achieved by passing the shared_fdb flag down
the HW lag creation path. While it did accomplish the goal of setting
FDB selection mode to native, it had the side effect of also
creating a shared FDB configuration.

This created a few issues:
- TC rules are inserted into a non active FDB, which means traffic isn't
  offloaded as all traffic will reach only a single FDB.
- All wire traffic is treated as if a single physical port received it; while
  this is true for a bond configuration, this shouldn't be the case for
  multiport eswitch.

Create a new flag MLX5_LAG_MODE_FLAG_FDB_SEL_MODE_NATIVE
to indicate what FDB selection mode should be used.
