    net/mlx5: fix indirect age action handling
    
    Indirect AGE flow actions can be created either through synchronous
    or asynchronous flow API.
    mlx5 PMD stores the queue used to create that action to support
    strict queueing. When action is created through synchronous API
    invalid queue index is stored instead.
    
    Whenever a flow rule is created with indirect AGE and
    direct COUNT flow actions, PMD allocates a HW counter for ageing
    that flow rule during rule creation.
    During allocation of the counter a queue index is needed
    to select a proper counter pool cache.
    
    In case when indirect AGE action created through synchronous API
    was used in that case, the associated queue index was used
    to select pool cache. Since queue index was invalid, PMD crashed.
    
    Counter can be allocated using the index of currently used queue and
    it does not have to match the queue used to create AGE action.
    
    This patch fixes the crash by using the index of currently used queue
    for counter allocation.
    
    This patch also adds missing validation for synchronous
    and asynchronous AGE flow action creation:
    
    - If strict queueing is disabled, only synchronous creation is allowed.
    - If strict queueing is enabled, only asynchronous creation is allowed.
    
    PMD documentation is updated accordingly.
    
    It also updates validation of synchronous query
    of aged flow rules in regards to strict queueing.
    When strict queueing is enabled, synchronous query is rejected.
    This aligns PMD behavior with API description.
