    net/mlx5: support live migration
    
    When a DPDK application must be upgraded,
    the traffic downtime should be shortened as much as possible.
    During the migration time, the old application may stay alive
    while the new application is starting and being configured.
    
    In order to optimize the switch to the new application,
    the old application may need to be aware of the presence
    of the new application being prepared.
    This is achieved with a new API allowing the user to change the
    new application state to standby and active later.
    
    The added function is trying to apply the new mode to all probed
    mlx5 ports. To make this API simple and easy to use,
    the same flags have to be accepted by all devices.
    
    This is the scenario of operations in the old and new applications:
    .       device: already configured by the old application
    .       new:    start as active
    .       new:    probe the same device
    .       new:    set as standby
    .       new:    configure the device
    .       device: has configurations from old and new applications
    .       old:    clear its device configuration
    .       device: has only 1 configuration from new application
    .       new:    set as active
    .       device: downtime for connecting all to the new application
    .       old:    shutdown
    
    The active mode means network handling configurations are programmed
    to the HW immediately, and no behavior changed. This is the default state.
    The standby mode means configurations are queued in the HW.
    If there is no application with active mode,
    any configuration is effective immediately.
