octeontx2-af: npa: cn20k: Add NPA Halo support

CN20K silicon implements unified aura and pool context type called Halo
for better resource usage. This patch adds support to handle Halo context
type operations.

When disabling a HALO context fails, wouldn't the error message print
"Pool" instead of "Halo"? The ternary expression only checks for AURA,
so HALO failures would be logged as Pool failures, making debugging on
cn20k hardware misleading.
