Optimize GRE Tunnel and add support for ERSPAN encap
Change GRE tunnel to use the interface type where the same encap node is used as output node for all GRE tunnels, instead of having dedicated output and tx node for each tunnel. This allows for more efficient tunnel creation and deletion at scale tested at 1000's of GRE tunnels. Add support for ERSPAN encap as another tunnel type, in addition to the existing L3 and TEB types. The GRE ERSPAN encap supported is type 2 thus GRE encap need to include sequence number and GRE- ERSPAN tunnel can be created with user secified ERSPAN session ID. The GRE tunnel lookup hash key is updated to inclue tunnel type and session ID, in addition to SIP/DIP and FIB index. Thus, GRE-ERSPAN tunnel can be created, with the appropriate session ID, to be used as output interface for SPAN config to send mirrored packets. Change interface naming so that all GRE tunnels, irrespective of tunnel type, uses "greN" where N is the instance number. Removed interface reuse on tunnel creation and deletion to enable unfied tunnel interface name. Add support of user specified instance on GRE tunnel creation. Thus, N in the "greN" interface name can optionally be specified by user via CLI/API. Optimize GRE tunnel encap DPO stacking to bypass load-balance DPO node since packet output on GRE tunnel always belong to the same flow after 5-tupple hash.

+ Ver [42:0] 4 ERSPAN Encapsulation version.
+ This indicates the version of

+ specification. Set to 0x1 for
+ Type II.
+
+ VLAN [42:4] 12 Original VLAN of the frame,
+ mirrored from the source.
+ If the En field is set to 11,
+ the value of VLAN is undefined.

+ frame, mirrored from the source.
+
+ En [44:3] 2 The trunk encapsulation type
+ associated with the ERSPAN source
+ port for ingress ERSPAN traffic.
+
+ The possible values are:
+ 00-originally without VLAN tag
+ 01-originally ISL encapsulated
+ 10-originally 802.1Q encapsulated
+ 11-VLAN tag preserved in frame.
+
+ T [44:5] 1 This bit indicates that the frame
+ copy encapsulated in the ERSPAN
+ packet has been truncated. This
+ occurs if the ERSPAN encapsulated
+ frame exceeds the configured MTU.
+
+ Session ID [44:6] 10 Identification associated with
+ (ERSPAN ID) each ERSPAN session. Must be
+ unique between the source and the
+ receiver(s). (See section below.)

+ Reserved [46:0] 12 All bits are set to zero
+
