Add test_rss_default_context_rule() to verify that ntuple rules can
correctly direct traffic to the default RSS context (context 0).
The test creates two ntuple rules with explicit location priorities:
- A high-priority rule (loc 0) directing specific port traffic to
context 0.
- A low-priority rule (loc 1) directing all other TCP traffic to context
1.
This validates that:
1. Rules targeting the default context function properly.
2. Traffic steering works as expected when mixing default and
additional RSS contexts.
The test was written by AI, and reviewed by humans.

There's no good API to check how many contexts device supports.
But initial tests sense the context count already, so just store

Extend the rss_ctx test suite to test that an ntuple action that
redirects to an RSS context contains that information in `ethtool -n`.
Otherwise the output from ethtool is highly deceiving. This test helps
ensure drivers are compliant with the API.

The combination of ntuple action (ring_cookie) and RSS context can
cause an ntuple rule to target a higher queue than appears in any
RSS indirection table or directly in the ntuple rule, since the two
numbers are added together. Verify the logic that prevents reducing
the queue count in this case.

Some workloads may want to rehash the flows in response to an imbalance.
Most effective way to do that is changing the RSS key. Check that changing
the key does not cause link flaps or traffic disruption.
Disrupting traffic for key update is not incorrect, but makes the key
update unusable for rehashing under load.

Some devices dynamically increase and decrease the size of the RSS
indirection table based on the number of enabled queues.
When that happens driver must maintain the balance of entries
(preferably duplicating the smaller table).

By default main RSS table should change to include all queues.
When user sets a specific RSS config the driver should preserve it,
even when queue count changes. Driver should refuse to deactivate
queues used in the user-set RSS config.
For additional contexts driver should still refuse to deactivate
queues in use. Whether the contexts should get resized like
context 0 when queue count increases is a bit unclear. I anticipate
most drivers today don't do that. Since main use case for additional
contexts is to set the indir table - it doesn't seem worthwhile to
care about behavior of the default table too much. Don't test that.

Wrap up sending traffic and checking in which queues it landed
in a helper.
The method used for testing is to send a lot of iperf traffic
and check which queues received the most packets. Those should
be the queues where we expect iperf to land - either because we
installed a filter for the port iperf uses, or we didn't and
expect it to use context 0.
Contexts get disjoint queue sets, but the main context (AKA context 0)
may receive some background traffic (noise).

As predicted by David running the test on a machine with a single
interface is a bit unreliable. We try to send 20k packets with
iperf and expect fewer than 10k packets on the default context.
The test isn't very quick, iperf will usually send 100k packets
by the time we stop it. So we're off by 5x on the number of iperf
packets but still expect default context to only get the hardcoded
10k. The intent is to make sure we get noticeably less traffic
on the default context. Use half of the resulting iperf traffic
instead of the hard coded 10k.
