Remove dependency between sriov and eswitch mode

Currently, there are three eswitch modes, none, legacy and
switchdev. None is the default mode. And when disabling sriov,
current eswitch mode will be changed to none. This patchset
removes eswitch mode none and also removes dependency between
sriov and eswitch mode. With this patchset, there are two
behavior changes:

Original behavior
-----------------
 - When driver is loaded without sriov enabled, none is the default
   mode. But actually eswitch mode should be either legacy or
   switchdev, so devlink will return unsupported when showing
   eswitch mode.
 - When disabling sriov in either legacy or switchdev mode, eswitch
   mode will be changed to none.

New behavior
------------
 - When driver is loaded, legacy will be the default mode.
 - When disabling sriov in either legacy or switchdev mode, eswitch
   mode will not be changed.

================
Add support offloading police action

This patchset supports offloading police action by flow meter ASO
object in hardware.

The first part is to add interfaces to create and destroy flow meter
ASO object, and modify meter parameters by ACCESS_ASO WQE. As multiple
objects are created at a time, and two meters are in one object,
bitmaps are used manage these meters in one creation.

Then the police action can be mapped to a meter by the action index.
After mlx5e tc action refactoring was merged and post_act table was
added, a simple tc flow with one police action is broken down into two
rules in hardware. One rule with the original match in the original
table, which performs a metadata rewrite and do metering, then jumps
to post_meter table. The second rule is placed in the post_act table
with all the actions left.

The rules in post_meter table match on the meter outcome. If the
outcome is GREEN, we merely jump back to the post_act table for
further processing. Otherwise, the outcome is RED, and we drop the
packet.

The last part is to support flow meter ASO object in sw steering.
