[DTS][PATCH V1 2/4] test_plans/ice_dcf_switch_filter: update existing negative cases to validate represented port action and port representor action

[Ke Xu <ke1.xu@intel.com>]

1. Add second PF with VFs for following cases

2. Add a subcase to validate creating 'represented port' action on a representor

3. Add a subcase to validate creating 'represented port' action on a VF

4. Add a subcase to validate creating 'represented port' action to a VF

5. Add two subcases to validate creating 'represented port' action to DCFs

6. Add a subcase to validate creating 'represented port' action to a representor of another DCF

7. Add a subcase to validate creating 'port representor' action on a representor

8. Add a subcase to validate creating 'port representor' action on a VF

9. Add a subcase to validate creating 'port representor' action to a VF

10. Add a subcase to validate creating 'port representor' action to a representor

11. Add a subcase to validate creating 'port representor' action to another DCF

12. Add a subcase to validate deprecated action

13. Add	a subcase to validate using an invalid port id
