net/mlx5e: Add support for offloading traffic from uplink to uplink
Termination tables change the direction of a packet in hw from RX to SX pipeline. Use that to offload hairpin flows received from uplink and sent back to uplink. Currently termination tables are used for pushing VLAN to packets received from uplink and targeting a VF. Extend the implementation to allow forwarding packets to uplink. These packets can either be encapsulated or not. In case encapsulation is needed before forwarding, move the reformat object to the termination table as required. Extend the hash table key to include tunnel information for the sake of reusing reformat objects.
