On Medford, licenses are required to enable RX and event cut through and to
disable RX batching. To avoid the need for the driver to make decisions based on
the licensing state, the MC_CMD_INIT_EVQ has been extended to allow us to leave
the decision to the firmware. If the adapter is licensed for low-latency use,
the firmware will choose the optimal settings for latency, otherwise it will use
the best settings for throughput.
For Huntington we still need to choose the settings ourselves.

When the low-latency firmware variant is running, it is reported as not
being capable of batching RX events, but it can still do so if the
FORCE_EV_MERGING flag is set on an RXQ. Therefore we need to handle
batched RX events even if the capability isn't set.
If this bug is fixed in the firmware such that the capability is set
even when running the low-latency firmware variant, it will almost
always be reported so I don't think we lose much by removing the check.

The event/timer block used sysclk in Huntington, but has been
moved to the dpcpu clock domain for Medford. Fix the computed
timer quantum to use the right clock.

Perform a more accurate check of whether the PCIe bandwidth is
sufficient for the current/supported port modes.
Give a different warning if there is sufficient bandwidth to achieve
line rate, but the link is not fast enough for optimal latency.

Move legacy privilege masks near to their only user.
Move Huntington definitions to the top of hunt_impl.h to prepare
for moving the remaining EF10 definitions to ef10_impl.h.
