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.
