Adding new ioctl method for the MR object - REG_DM_MR.
This command can be used by users to register an allocated
device memory buffer as an MR and receive lkey and rkey
to be used within work requests.
It is added as a new method under the MR object and using a new
ib_device callback - reg_dm_mr.
The command creates a standard ib_mr object which represents the
registered memory.

This change adds uverbs support for allocation/freeing
of device memory commands.
A new uverbs object is defined of type idr to represent
and track the new resource type allocation per context.
The API requires provider driver to implement 2 new ib_device
callbacks - one for allocation and one for deallocation which
return and accept (respectively) the ib_dm object which represents
the allocated memory on the device.
The support is added via the ioctl command infrastructure
only.

flow_actions of ESP type could be modified during runtime. This could be
common for example when ESN should be changed. Adding a new
UVERBS_FLOW_ACTION_ESP_MODIFY method for changing ESP parameters of an
existing ESP flow_action.
The new method uses the UVERBS_FLOW_ACTION_ESP_CREATE attributes, but
adds a new IB_FLOW_ACTION_ESP_FLAGS_MOD_ESP_ATTRS which means ESP_ATTRS
should be changed.
In addition, we add a new FLOW_ACTION_ESP_REPLAY_NONE replay type that
could be used when one wants to disable a replay protection over a
specific flow_action.

A verbs application may receive and transmits packets using a data
path pipeline. Sometimes, the first stage in the receive pipeline or
the last stage in the transmit pipeline involves transforming a
packet, either in order to make it easier for later stages to process
it or to prepare it for transmission over the wire. Such transformation
could be stripping/encapsulating the packet (i.e. vxlan),
decrypting/encrypting it (i.e. ipsec), altering headers, doing some
complex FPGA changes, etc.
Some hardware could do such transformations without software data path
intervention at all. The flow steering API supports steering a
packet (either to a QP or dropping it) and some simple packet
immutable actions (i.e. tagging a packet). Complex actions, that may
change the packet, could bloat the flow steering API extensively.
Sometimes the same action should be applied to several flows.
In this case, it's easier to bind several flows to the same action and
modify it than change all matching flows.
Introducing a new flow_action object that abstracts any packet
transformation (out of a standard and well defined set of actions).
This flow_action object could be tied to a flow steering rule via a
new specification.
Currently, we support esp flow_action, which encrypts or decrypts a
packet according to the given parameters. However, we present a
flexible schema that could be used to other transformation actions tied
to flow rules.

Use macros to make names consistent in ioctl() uAPI:
The ioctl() uAPI works with object-method hierarchy. The method part
also states which handler should be executed when this method is called
from user-space. Therefore, we need to tie method, method's id, method's
handler and the object owning this method together.
Previously, this was done through explicit developer chosen names.
This makes grepping the code harder. Changing the method's name,
method's handler and object's name to be automatically generated based
on the ids.
The headers are split in a way so they be included and used by
user-space. One header strictly contains structures that are used
directly by user-space applications, where another header is used for
internal library (i.e. libibverbs) to form the ioctl() commands.
Other header simply contains the required general command structure.
