net/mlx5: check metadata registers availability
The metadata registers reg_c provide support for TAG and
SET_TAG features. Although there are 8 registers are available
on the current mlx5 devices, some of them can be reserved.
The availability should be queried by iterative trial-and-error
implemented by mlx5_flow_discover_mreg_c() routine.
If reg_c is available, it can be regarded inclusively that
the extensive metadata support is possible. E.g. metadata
register copy action, supporting 16 modify header actions
(instead of 8 by default) preserving register across
different domains (FDB and NIC) and so on.
