This test runs two streams of traffic from two independent ports to
create congestion on one egress port. It is necessary to configure the
shared buffer thresholds correctly, to make sure that there is traffic
from both streams in the shared buffer. Only then can the test actually
test prioritization among these streams.
Without this configuration, it is possible, that one of the streams
takes all of port-pool quota, and the other stream is not even admitted,
thus invalidating the result.
On Spectrum-1, this is not a problem, because MC traffic uses a separate
pool. But for Spectrum-2, MC and UC share the same pool, and the correct
configuration is important.

In a previous patch, mlxsw was updated to configure a minimum bandwidth
allowance on MC TCs. Test that this indeed fixes the problem of UC
traffic overload pushing out all MC traffic.

Since the minimum shaper is now being enabled for MC TCs, it's
unreasonable to expect no UC traffic loss. Minimal min shaper value is
200Mbps, which is 20% of the 1Gbps that this test configures on egress.
To cover for glitches, tolerate up to 25% UC degradation under MC
overload.

This is a self-standing test and as such should be itself executable.

A so-called "MC-aware" mode has recently been enabled in mlxsw. In
MC-aware mode, BUM traffic is handled in a special way so that when a
switch is flooded with BUM, UC performance isn't unduly impacted.
Without enablement of this mode, a stream of BUM traffic can cause
sustained UC throughput drop in excess of 99 %.
Add a test for this behavior. Compare how much UC throughput degrades as
a stream of broadcast frames floods the switch. A minimal degradation is
tolerated to cover for glitches in traffic injection performance.
