Eswitch has two users: IB and ETH. They both register repersentors
when mlx5 interface is added, and unregister the repersentors when
mlx5 interface is removed. Ideally, each driver should only deal with
the entities which are unique to itself. However, current IB and ETH
drivers have to perform the following eswitch operations:
1. When registering, specify how many vports to register. This number
is the same for both drivers which is the total available vport
numbers.
2. When unregistering, specify the number of registered vports to do
unregister. Also, unload the repersentors which are already loaded.
It's unnecessary for eswitch driver to hands out the control of above
operations to individual driver users, as they're not unique to each
driver. Instead, such operations should be centralized to eswitch
driver. This consolidates eswitch control flow, and simplified IB and
ETH driver.
This patch doesn't change any functionality.

Currently the eswitch vport reps have a valid indicator, which is
set on register and unset on unregister. However, a rep can be loaded
or not loaded when doing unregister, current driver checks if the
vport of that rep is enabled as a flag to imply the rep is loaded.
However, for ECPF, this is not valid as the host PF will enable the
vports for its VFs instead.
Add three states: {unregistered, registered, loaded}, with the
following state changes across different operations:
create: (none) -> unregistered
reg: unregistered -> registered
load: registered -> loaded
unload: loaded -> registered
unreg: registered -> unregistered
Note that the state shall only be updated inside eswitch driver rather
than individual drivers such as ETH or IB.

In smartnic env, the host (PF) driver might not be an e-switch
manager, hence the FW will err on driver attempts to deal with
setting/unsetting the eswitch and as a result the overall setup
of sriov will fail.
Fix that by avoiding the operation if e-switch management is not
allowed for this driver instance. While here, move to use the
correct name for the esw manager capability name.

Create a new representor type: REP_IB. which will be initialized by an IB
device that is used as a logical representor of a eswitch vport (VF or
uplink) just like we have a net device today in switchdev mode.

In preparation for IB representors, move representors structs to a global
scope, also expose functions needed for registration, unregistration,
eswitch mode and creating a flow rule to direct traffic from SQs to the
right VF.
