sfc: support TC rules which require OR-AR-CT-AR flow
When a foreign LHS rule (TC rule from a tunnel netdev which requests conntrack lookup) matches on inner headers or enc_key_id, these matches cannot be performed by the Outer Rule table, as the keys are only available after the tunnel type has been identified (by the OR lookup) and the rest of the headers parsed accordingly. Offload such rules with an Action Rule, using the LOOKUP_CONTROL section of the AR response to specify the conntrack and/or recirculation actions, combined with an Outer Rule which performs only the usual Encap Match duties. This processing flow, as it requires two AR lookups per packet, is less performant than OR-CT-AR, so only use it where necessary.
