session: incomprehensible error message for adding sdl and rule-table entry

1. When the backend engine is not enable, adding an entry returns
a confusing error message.

DBGvpp# session sdl add 191.1.1.30/32 action 1 tag blue-v4-rule1
session sdl add 191.1.1.30/32 action 1 tag blue-v4-rule1
unknown input `add  191.1.1.30/32 action 1 ta...'
DBGvpp#

2. When the sdl or rule-table entry is already present, adding the duplicate
entry returns a confusing error message.

DBGvpp# session sdl add  8.8.8.1/32 action 0
session sdl add  8.8.8.1/32 action 0
DBGvpp# session sdl add  8.8.8.1/32 action 0
session sdl add  8.8.8.1/32 action 0
session: session is already enable. Must disable first
DBGvpp#

The problem is because there are multiple cli commands start with "session".
When the command is failed with the best match chain, it passes the
command to the other parser chains which start with the keyword "session".
The other cli chain also fails to parse the command. The error message
that the previous parser chain returned may be overwritten by
the newest error message.

The fix is to not return an error in sdl and rule-table parser command chain.

Type: fix
