ice: add support for set/get of driver-stored firmware parameters

Depending on the device configuration, the ice hardware may share the
PTP hardware clock timer between multiple PFs. Each PF is informed by
firmware during initialization of the PTP timer association.

When bringing up PTP, only the PFs which own the timer shall allocate
a PTP hardware clock. Other PFs associated with that timer must report
the correct PTP clock index in order to allow userspace software the
ability to know which ports are connected to the same clock.

To support this, the firmware has driver shared parameters. These
parameters enable one PF to write the clock index into firmware, and
have other PFs read the associated value out. This enables the driver to
have only a single PF allocate and control the device timer registers,
while other PFs associated with that timer can report the correct clock
in the ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO report.

Add support for the necessary admin queue commands to enable reading and
writing of the driver shared parameters. This will be used in a future
change to enable sharing the PTP clock index between PF drivers.
