net/mlx5: Add software system image GUID infrastructure
Replace direct hardware system image GUID usage with a new software
system image GUID function that supports variable-length identifiers.
Key changes:
- Add mlx5_query_nic_sw_system_image_guid() function with length parameter.
- Update all callsites to use the new function and buffer/length approach.
- Modify mapping contexts to use byte arrays instead of u64 keys.
- Update devcom matching to support variable-length keys.
- Change mlx5_same_hw_devs() to use buffer comparison instead of u64.
This refactoring prepares the infrastructure for balance ID support,
which requires extending the system image GUID with additional data.
The change maintains backward compatibility while enabling future
enhancements.
