[PATCH v2 1/3] net/mlx5: fix ESP header match in strict mode

From: Viacheslav Ovsiienko <viacheslavo at nvidia.com>
The pattern like "eth / ipv6 / esp / end" matched on any IPv6
packet in strict mode, because there was no implicit match on the
IP.proto forced.
This patch adds the implicit match on IP.proto with value 50 (ESP)
and adds implicit match on UDP.dport with value 4500 for the case
ESP over UDP.
Fixes: 81cf20a25abf ("net/mlx5/hws: support match on ESP item")
