This patch enables support for count and age flow actions
in root table i.e. flow group 0, when working
with HW Steering flow engine (dv_flow_en = 2).
It depends on support in HWS layer introduced in previous patches.

Specifically this patch:

- Adjusts action validation during flow actions translation
  to allow count and age on root group.
- Adds creation and destruction of mlx5dr count action
  for use on root group.
- Adjusts count action construction (done during rule create)
  to select correct action variant based on the group
  where the rule is created.
