mlxsw: spectrum_router: Add nexthop group type field

Browse source

Currently, the type (i.e., IPv4/IPv6) of the nexthop group is derived
from the neighbour table associated with the group.

This is problematic when nexthop objects are taken into account, as a
nexthop group object can contain both IPv4 and IPv6 nexthops.

Instead, add a new field that indicates the type of the group and
initialize it during the group's creation. Currently, the types are IPv4
('struct fib_info') and IPv6 ('struct fib6_info'). In the future another
type will be added for nexthop objects ('struct nexthop').
