Carmelo Cascone da15af8ce3 Drop using BNG attachment IDs in favor or dynamically allocated line IDs ...

The current implementation of BngProgrammable for fabric.p4 uses
attachment IDs as line IDs, thus forcing apps such as bngc to be aware
of such implementation detail and to manage the allocation of such IDs.
Unfortunately, allocation of IDs is dependent on the device (P4 program)
implementation (e.g., line counter size), and so it should not be left
to apps.

This patch removes the need for attachment IDs at all and instead relies
on a driver-level service to dynamically allocate line IDs based on the
attachment attributes (currently s-tag, c-tag, mac address).

The current implementation of the allocation logic is a trivial one,
i.e. non-distributed and non-optimized.
