net/sfc: add switch mode device argument

Add the argument that allows user to choose either switchdev or legacy
mode. Legacy mode enables switching by using Ethernet virtual bridging
(EVB) API. In switchdev mode, VF traffic goes via port representor
(if any) on PF, and software virtual switch (for example, Open vSwitch)
steers the traffic.

+- ``switch_mode`` [legacy|switchdev] (see below for default)
+
+  In legacy mode, NIC firmware provides Ethernet virtual bridging (EVB) API
+  to configure switching inside NIC to deliver traffic to physical (PF) and
+  virtual (VF) PCI functions. PF driver is responsible to build the
+  infrastructure for VFs, and traffic goes to/from VF by default in accordance
+  with MAC address assigned, permissions and filters installed by VF drivers.
+  In switchdev mode VF traffic goes via port representor (if any) on PF, and
+  software virtual switch (for example, Open vSwitch) makes the decision.
+  Software virtual switch may install MAE rules to pass established traffic
+  flows via hardware and offload software datapath as the result.
+  Default is legacy.
+
 - ``rx_datapath`` [auto|efx|ef10|ef10_essb] (default **auto**)
 
   Choose receive datapath implementation.
