mlxsw: Refactor headroom management

Petr says:

On Spectrum, port buffers, also called port headroom, is where packets are
stored while they are parsed and the forwarding decision is being made. For
lossless traffic flows, in case shared buffer admission is not allowed,
headroom is also where to put the extra traffic received before the sent
PAUSE takes effect. Another aspect of the port headroom is the so called
internal buffer, which is used for egress mirroring.

Linux supports two DCB interfaces related to the headroom: dcbnl_setbuffer
for configuration, and dcbnl_getbuffer for inspection. In order to make it
possible to implement these interfaces, it is first necessary to clean up
headroom handling, which is currently strewn in several places in the
driver.

The end goal is an architecture whereby it is possible to take a copy of
the current configuration, adjust parameters, and then hand the proposed
configuration over to the system to implement it. When everything works,
the proposed configuration is accepted and saved. First, this centralizes
the reconfiguration handling to one function, which takes care of
coordinating buffer size changes and priority map changes to avoid
introducing drops. Second, the fact that the configuration is all in one
place makes it easy to keep a backup and handle error path rollbacks, which
were previously hard to understand.

Patch #1 introduces struct mlxsw_sp_hdroom, which will keep port headroom
configuration.

Patch #2 unifies handling of delay provision between PFC and PAUSE. From
now on, delay is to be measured in bytes of extra space, and will not
include MTU. PFC handler sets the delay directly from the parameter it gets
through the DCB interface. For PAUSE, MLXSW_SP_PAUSE_DELAY is converted to
have the same meaning.

In patches #3-#5, MTU, lossiness and priorities are gradually moved over to
struct mlxsw_sp_hdroom.

In patches #6-#11, handling of buffer resizing and priority maps is moved
from spectrum.c and spectrum_dcb.c to spectrum_buffers.c. The API is
gradually adapted so that struct mlxsw_sp_hdroom becomes the main interface
through which the various clients express how the headroom should be
configured.

Patch #12 is a small cleanup that the previous transformation made
possible.

In patch #13, the port init code becomes a boring client of the headroom
code, instead of rolling its own thing.

Patches #14 and #15 move handling of internal mirroring buffer to the new
headroom code as well. Previously, this code was in the SPAN module. This
patchset converts the SPAN module to another boring client of the headroom
code.
