RDMA/mlx5: Allow creating a matcher for a NIC TX flow table
Currently a matcher can only be created and attached to a NIC RX flow table. Extend it to allow it on NIC TX flow tables as well. In order to achieve that, we: 1) Expose a new attribute: MLX5_IB_ATTR_FLOW_MATCHER_FLOW_FLAGS. enum ib_flow_flags is used as valid flags. Only IB_FLOW_ATTR_FLAGS_EGRESS is supported. 2) Remove the requirement to have a DEVX or QP destination when creating a flow. A flow added to NIC TX flow table will forward the packet outside of the vport (Wire or E-Switch in the SR-iOV case).
