mlxsw: Add support for 802.1Q FID family
Using the legacy bridge model, there is no VID classification at egress for 802.1Q FIDs, which means that the VID is maintained. This behavior cause the limitation that 802.1Q FIDs cannot work with VXLAN. This limitation stems from the fact that a decapsulated VXLAN packet should not contain a VLAN tag. If such a packet was to egress from a local port using a 802.1Q FID, it would "maintain" its VLAN on egress, which is no VLAN at all. Currently 802.1Q FIDs are emulated in mlxsw driver using 802.1D FIDs. Using unified bridge model, there is a FID->VID mapping, so it is possible to stop emulating 802.1Q FIDs. The main changes are: 1. Use 'SFGC.bridge_type' = 0, to separate between 802.1Q FIDs and 802.1D FIDs. 2. Use VLAN RIF instead of the emulated one (VLAN_EMU which is emulated using FID RIF). 3. Create VID->FID mapping when the FID is created. Then when a new port is mapped to the FID, if it not in virtual mode, no new mapping is needed. Save the new port in 'port_vid_list', to be able to update a RIF in all {Port, VID}->FID mappings in case that the port will be in virtual mode later. 4. Add a dedicated operation function per FID family to update RIF for VID->FID mappings. For 802.1d and rFID families, just return. For 802.1q family, handle the global mapping which is created for new 802.1q FID.
