In P4, actions are assumed to pre exist and have an upper bound number of
instances. Typically if you have 1M table entries you want to allocate
enough action instances to cover the 1M entries. However, this is a big
waste of memory if the action instances are not in use. So for our case,
we allow the user to specify a minimal amount of actions in the template
and then if more dynamic action instances are needed then they will be
added on demand as in the current approach with tc filter-action
relationship.

Add the necessary code to preallocate actions instances for dynamic
actions.

We add 2 new actions flags:
- TCA_ACT_FLAGS_PREALLOC: Indicates the action instance is a dynamic action
  and was preallocated for future use the templating phase of P4TC
- TCA_ACT_FLAGS_UNREFERENCED: Indicates the action instance was
  preallocated and is currently not being referenced by any other object.
  Which means it won't show up in an action instance dump.

Once an action instance is created we don't free it when the last table
entry referring to it is deleted.
Instead we add it to the pool/cache of action instances for
that specific action i.e it counts as if it is preallocated.
Preallocated actions can't be deleted by the tc actions runtime commands
and a dump or a get will only show preallocated actions
instances which are being used (TCA_ACT_FLAGS_UNREFERENCED == false).

The preallocated actions will be deleted once the pipeline is deleted
(which will purge the dynamic action kind and its instances).

For example, if we were to create a dynamic action that preallocates 128
elements and dumped:

$ tc -j p4template get action/myprog/send_nh | jq .

We'd see the following:

[
  {
    "obj": "action template",
    "pname": "myprog",
    "pipeid": 1
  },
  {
    "templates": [
      {
        "aname": "myprog/send_nh",
        "actid": 1,
        "params": [
          {
            "name": "port",
            "type": "dev",
            "id": 1
          }
        ],
        "prealloc": 128
      }
    ]
  }
]

If we try to dump the dynamic action instances, we won't see any:

$ tc -j actions ls action myprog/send_nh | jq .

[]

However, if we create a table entry which references this action kind:

$ tc p4ctrl create myprog/table/cb/FDB \
   dstAddr d2:96:91:5d:02:86 action myprog/send_nh \
   param port type dev dummy0

Dumping the action instance will now show this one instance which is
associated with the table entry:

$ tc -j actions ls action myprog/send_nh | jq .

[
  {
    "total acts": 1
  },
  {
    "actions": [
      {
        "order": 0,
        "kind": "myprog/send_nh",
        "index": 1,
        "ref": 1,
        "bind": 1,
        "params": [
          {
            "name": "port",
            "type": "dev",
            "value": "dummy0",
            "id": 1
          }
        ],
        "not_in_hw": true
      }
    ]
  }
]
