ice: Add support for VSI allocation and deallocation

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.
