To reduce PHV utilization and make space for higher priority features.

None of the fabric-tna use cases requires IPv6 support and it's totally untested (we don't have PTF tests for it). If we really need it, we can likely come up with a more efficient design that reduces PHV utilization.

Let's use this PR to discuss implications, w.g., whether we should still support bridging for IPv6, and hence parse IPv6, reject, or accept as Ethernet/MPLS payload.

TODO

  • Check pipeliner, explicitly reject IPv6-related FlowObjectives
