Carmelo Cascone e44592f246 More robust P4Runtime group handling
This patch solves the PENDING_UPDATE and PENDING_ADD_RETRY issue
observed on the ONS EU topology.

The P4Runtime action profile group handling has been re-implemented to
be robust against inconsistencies of the device mirror, which is now
periodically synchronized with the device state. Similarly, we implement
a routine in the P4RuntimeClient to cleanup unused action profile
members.

This patch includes also:
-  Refactor PI handle classes to allow creating handles without the
entity instance
- Use list instead of collections in P4RuntimeClient methods, as order
of updates sent and/or entities received from the device is important
