vRouter: support for ECMP without policy

[Anand H. Krishnan]

Currently ECMP does not work if the packets do not transit the flow table (i.e.: if there is no policy that guides the packet). The requirement for flow lookup comes from the fact that flows need to follow the same path regardless of destinations leaving and new destinations entering, which affects the list of ECMP destinations, and hence an index is associated with the flow.

For non-policy looked up packets, requirement of following the same path in case of transitions is dropped.

ECMP without flow

Currently ECMP does not work if the packets do not transit the flow table
(i.e.: if there is no policy that guides the packet). The requirement for
flow lookup comes from the fact that flows need to follow the same path
(also called flow stickiness) regardless of existing destinations leaving
and new destinations entering, which affects the list of ECMP destinations,
and thus the distribution. To workaround that problem, we maintain an index
in the flow entry that points to the correct end point in the distribution
list.

For non-policy looked up packets, requirement of following the same path in
case of transitions is dropped.

Disable policy on ECMP nexthops

To support requirement of ECMP without policy, disable policy on ECMP nexthops.
Also separate out ECMP NH test-cases and make them non-flaky. Also update these
UT to verify that policy is disabled for ECMP Nexthop

For mirroring, ECMP index should not come from parent flow

In the case of mirror to an ECMP destination, we can not take the
ECMP index that is set in the flow of the parent (the flow/packet
that is mirrored). Hence, set the ECMP index to -1.

Also, there isn't a flow that maps to the mirror packet. So,
extract all the information that is needed from the parent flow and
set the flow index in the forrwarding metadata to -1.

If NH doesn't have policy, do not create flows even if the source is an
ECMP

For providing stickiness in the case of ECMP, vRouter explicitly used to
create flows even if the corresponding NextHop didn't have the policy bit
set. This now is a wrong behavior when we are supporting ECMP without
flows. Hence, do not create such flows, if the nexthop doesn't have
policy enabled.
