net/bnxt/tf_ulp: support a few feature extensions

This patch supports the following features.

add support for port table write operation
Added support for port table write operation from the
template so that template can write mirror id details into
the port database.

support generic template for socket direct
Support the socket direct feature, which is disabled by
default. User could enable it with meson configuration
parameter truflow feature bit.

add support for truflow promiscuous mode
The truflow application supports promiscuous mode to enable
or disable receiving the packets with unknown destination
mac addresses.

set metadata for profile tcam entry
The metadata higher bits are currently used for profile
tcam entry. To make better use of EM entries, it is better
to use metadata fully instead of only the higher bits of
the metadata.

support the group miss action
Generic template supports the feature of setting group miss
action with the following rte command:

flow group 0 group_id 1 ingress set_miss_actions jump
group 3 / end

fix some build failures
This change resolves a build issue seen on some OS's and
compiler versions.
