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.
