Networking HW rate limiting configuration.
This API allows configuring HW shapers available on the network
devices at different levels (queues, network device) and allows
arbitrary manipulation of the scheduling tree of the involved
shapers.
Each @shaper is identified within the given device, by a @handle,
comprising both a @scope and an @id.
Depending on the @scope value, the shapers are attached to specific
HW objects (queues, devices) or, for @node scope, represent a
scheduling group, that can be placed in an arbitrary location of
the scheduling tree.
Shapers can be created with two different operations: the @set
operation, to create and update a single "attached" shaper, and
the @group operation, to create and update a scheduling
group. Only the @group operation can create @node scope shapers.
Existing shapers can be deleted/reset via the @delete operation.
The user can query the running configuration via the @get operation.
Different devices can provide different feature sets, e.g. with no
support for complex scheduling hierarchy, or for some shaping
parameters. The user can introspect the HW capabilities via the
@cap-get operation.

name: delete
doc: |
Clear (remove) the specified shaper. When deleting
a @node shaper, reattach all the node's leaves to the
deleted node's parent.
If, after the removal, the parent shaper has no more
leaves and the parent shaper scope is @node, the parent
node is deleted, recursively.
When deleting a @queue shaper or a @netdev shaper,
the shaper disappears from the hierarchy, but the
queue/device can still send traffic: it has an implicit
node with infinite bandwidth. The queue's implicit node
feeds an implicit RR node at the root of the hierarchy.

name: group
doc: |
Create or update a scheduling group, attaching the specified
@leaves shapers under the specified node identified by @handle.
The @leaves shapers scope must be @queue and the node shaper
scope must be either @node or @netdev.
When the node shaper has @node scope, if the @handle @id is not
specified, a new shaper of such scope is created, otherwise the
specified node must already exist.
When updating an existing node shaper, the specified @leaves are
added to the existing node; such node will also retain any preexisting
leave.
The @parent handle for a new node shaper defaults to the parent
of all the leaves, provided all the leaves share the same parent.
Otherwise @parent handle must be specified.
The user can optionally provide shaping attributes for the node
shaper.
The operation is atomic, on failure no change is applied to
the device shaping configuration, otherwise the @node shaper
full identifier, comprising @binding and @handle, is provided
as the reply.
