nfp: allow apps to disable ctrl vNIC capabilities
Most vNIC capabilities are netdev related. It makes no sense
to initialize them and waste FW resources. Some are even
counter-productive, like IRQ moderation, which will slow
down exchange of control messages.
Add to nfp_app a mask of enabled control vNIC capabilities
for apps to use. Make flower and BPF enable all capabilities
for now. No functional changes.
