net/mlx5: Introduce VHCA tunnel device capability
When using the device emulation feature (introduced in Bluefield-1 SOC), a privileged function (the device emulation manager) will be able to create a channel to execute commands on behalf of the emulated function. This channel will be a general object of type VHCA_TUNNEL that will have a unique ID for each emulated function. This ID will be passed in each cmd that will be issued by the emulation SW in a well known offset in the command header. This channel is needed since the emulated function doesn't have a normal command interface to the HCA HW, but some basic configuration for that function is needed (e.g. initialize and enable the HCA). For that matter, a specific command-set was defined and only those commands will be issued by the HCA.
