mlxsw: spectrum_span: Add support for mirroring towards CPU port
The Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 ASICs are able to mirror packets towards the CPU. These packets are then trapped like any other packet, but with a special packet trap and additional metadata such as why the packet was mirrored. The ability to mirror packets towards the CPU will be utilized by a subsequent patch set that will mirror packets that were dropped by the ASIC for various buffer-related reasons, such as tail-drop and early-drop. Add mirroring towards the CPU as a new SPAN agent type and re-use the functions that mirror to a physical port where possible.
