[PATCH V3 00/21] net/softnic: replace the legacy pipeline with SWX pipeline

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

The legacy pipeline API is soon going to be marked for deprecation,
hence the Soft NIC driver is updated to support the new SWX pipeline
type.

The SWX pipeline has better encapsulation than the legacy pipeline,
mainly due to P4 language alignment, which results in most of the
functionality being supported directly in the pipeline library, hence
the big number of lines of code deleted from this driver.

Depends-on: series-24117 ("pipeline: pipeline configuration and build improvements")

Change log:

V3:
-Rebased on main latest.

V2:
-Fixed minor style checks and warnings reported by the CI/CD.
