This patch introduces data structures and functions to alloc/free
VSIs. The driver represents a VSI using the ice_vsi structure.
Some noteworthy points about VSI allocation:
1) A VSI is allocated in the firmware using the "add VSI" admin queue
command (implemented as ice_aq_add_vsi). The firmware returns an
identifier for the allocated VSI. The VSI context is used to program
certain aspects (loopback, queue map, etc.) of the VSI's configuration.
2) A VSI is deleted using the "free VSI" admin queue command (implemented
as ice_aq_free_vsi).
3) The driver represents a VSI using struct ice_vsi. This is allocated
and initialized as part of the ice_vsi_alloc flow, and deallocated
as part of the ice_vsi_delete flow.
4) Once the VSI is created, a netdev is allocated and associated with it.
The VSI's ring and vector related data structures are also allocated
and initialized.
5) A VSI's queues can either be contiguous or scattered. To do this, the
driver maintains a bitmap (vsi->avail_txqs) which is kept in sync with
the firmware's VSI queue allocation imap. If the VSI can't get a
contiguous queue allocation, it will fallback to scatter. This is
implemented in ice_vsi_get_qs which is called as part of the VSI setup
flow. In the release flow, the VSI's queues are released and the bitmap
is updated to reflect this by ice_vsi_put_qs.

This patch adds to the initialization flow by getting switch
configuration, scheduler configuration and device capabilities.
Switch configuration:
On boot, an L2 switch element is created in the firmware per physical
function. Each physical function is also mapped to a port, to which its
switch element is connected. In other words, this switch can be visualized
as an embedded vSwitch that can connect a physical function's virtual
station interfaces (VSIs) to the egress/ingress port. Egress/ingress
filters will be eventually created and applied on this switch element.
As part of the initialization flow, the driver gets configuration data
from this switch element and stores it.
Scheduler configuration:
The Tx scheduler is a subsystem responsible for setting and enforcing QoS.
As part of the initialization flow, the driver queries and stores the
default scheduler configuration for the given physical function.
Device capabilities:
As part of initialization, the driver has to determine what the device is
capable of (ex. max queues, VSIs, etc). This information is obtained from
the firmware and stored by the driver.
