mlxsw: item: Add support for local_port field in a split form
Currently, local_port field uses 8 bits, which means that maximum 256
ports can be used.
As preparation for the next ASIC, which will support more than 256
ports, local_port field should be extended to 10 bits.
It is not possible to use 10 consecutive bits in all registers, and
therefore, the field is split into 2 fields:
1. local_port - the existing 8 bits, represent LSB of the extended
field.
2. lp_msb - extra 2 bits, represent MSB of the extended field.
To avoid complex programming when reading/writing local_port, add a
dedicated macro which creates get and set functions which handle both parts
of local_port.
