net/mlx5_core: Introduce forward to next priority action
Add support to create flow rule that forward packets to the first flow table in the next priority (next priority could be the first priority in the next namespace or the next priority in the same namespace). This feature could be used for DONT_TRAP rules or rules that only want to mark the packet with flow tag. In order to do it optimally, each flow table has list of all rules that point to this flow table, when a flow table is destroyed/created, we update the list head correspondingly. This kind of rule is created when destination is NULL and action is MLX5_FLOW_CONTEXT_ACTION_FWD_NEXT_PRIO.
