ice: switch to Page Pool

This patch completes the transition of the ice driver to use the Page Pool
and libeth APIs, following the same direction as commit 5fa4caff59f2
("iavf: switch to Page Pool"). With the legacy page splitting and recycling
logic already removed, the driver is now in a clean state to adopt the
modern memory model.

The Page Pool integration simplifies buffer management by offloading
DMA mapping and recycling to the core infrastructure. This eliminates
the need for driver-specific handling of headroom, buffer sizing, and
page order. The libeth helper is used for CPU-side processing, while
DMA-for-device is handled by the Page Pool core.

Additionally, this patch extends the conversion to cover XDP support.
The driver now uses libeth_xdp helpers for Rx buffer processing,
and optimizes XDP_TX by skipping per-frame DMA mapping. Instead, all
buffers are mapped as bi-directional up front, leveraging Page Pool's
lifecycle management. This significantly reduces overhead in virtualized
environments.

Performance observations:
- In typical scenarios (netperf, XDP_PASS, XDP_DROP), performance remains
  on par with the previous implementation.
- In XDP_TX mode:
  * With IOMMU enabled, performance improves dramatically - over 5x
    increase - due to reduced DMA mapping overhead and better memory reuse.
  * With IOMMU disabled, performance remains comparable to the previous
    implementation, with no significant changes observed.
- In XDP_DROP mode:
  * For small MTUs, (where multiple buffers can be allocated on a single
    memory page), a performance drop of approximately 20% is observed.
    According to 'perf top' analysis, the bottleneck is caused by atomic
    reference counter increments in the Page Pool.
  * For normal MTUs, (where only one buffer can be allocated within a
    single memory page), performance remains comparable to baseline
    levels.

This change is also a step toward a more modular and unified XDP
implementation across Intel Ethernet drivers, aligning with ongoing
efforts to consolidate and streamline feature support.
