========================================================================               
Introduction:
========================================================================

This series introduces a new DCB subcommand: rewr, which is used to
configure the in-kernel DCB rewrite table [1].

Rewrite support is added as a separate DCB subcommand, rather than an
APP opt-in flag or similar. This goes in line with what we did to dcbnl,
where rewrite is a separate object.  Obviously this requires a bit more
code to implement the new command, but much of the existing dcb-app code
(especially the bookkeeping code) can be reused. In some cases a little
adaptation is needed.

========================================================================
dcb-rewr parameters:
========================================================================

Initially, I have only made support for the prio-pcp and prio-dscp
parameters, as DSCP and PCP  are the only selectors that currently have
a user [2] and to be honest, I am not even sure it makes sense to add
dgram, stream, ethtype rewrite support - At least the rewriter of Sparx5
does not support this. Any input here is much appreciated!

Examples:

Rewrite DSCP to 63 for packets with priority 1
$ dcb rewr add dev eth0 prio-dscp 1:63

Rewrite PCP 7 and DEI to 1 for packets with priority 1
$ dcb rewr add dev eth0 prio-pcp 1:7de

A new manpage has been added, to cover the new dcb-rewr subcommand, and
its parameters. Also I took the liberty to clean up a few things in the
dcb-app manpage.

========================================================================               
Patch overview:
========================================================================

Patch  #1 Adds a new field 'attr' to the dcb_app_table struct, which is
          used to distinguish app and rewrite tables.

Patch  #2 Replaces uses of %d with %u for unsigned int.

Patch  #3 Moves colon out of callback functions.

Patch  #4 Renames protocl print functions from _key to _pid

Patch  #5 Modifies the _print_filtered() function for dcb-rewr reuse, by
          introducing new callbacks.

Patch  #6 Modifies existing dcb-app function dcb_app_table_remove_replaced 
          for reuse by dcb-rewr

Patch  #7 Expose dcb-app functions required by dcb-rewr.

Patch  #8 Adds the new dcb-rewr subcommand with initial support for
          prio-pcp and prio-dscp rewrite.

Patch  #9 Introduces symbol for max DSCP value and updates accordingly.

Patch #10 Adds the dcb-rewr.8 manpage
Patch #11 Adds references to dcb-apptrust and dcb-rewr in the dcb.8
          manpage.

Patch #12 Cleans up the dcb-app.8 manpage.

Changes in v3:
- Split #2 into four patches (%d->%u, :, renaming, prototype change).
- Moved publication of functions in #3 to patches where they are used.
- Added new patch #7 that exposes dcb-app functions required by dcb-rewr.
- Got rid of #4 and copied over dcb_app_parse_mapping_cb to dcb-rewr instead.
- Added new patch #9 for DCB_APP_MAX_DSCP
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230510-dcb-rewr-v2-0-9f38e688117e@microchip.com

Changes in v2:
- Got rid of patch #1 that introduced dcb_app.h - expose in individual patches. 
- Changed to callbacks for printing APP and rewrite entries. Also fixed %d to be %u.
- Changed to callbacks for removing replaced table entries for APP and rewrite.
- Changed to callbacks for pushing APP and rewrite entries to the table.
- Got rid of extra spaces in dcb-rewr helps, and reordered some parameters for dcb_parse_mapping.
- Rephrased 'that that' sentence in dcb-app.8 and dcb-rewr.8
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230510-dcb-rewr-v1-0-83adc1f93356@microchip.com
