This wires up the softnpu ASIC backend to support multicast end-to-end by translating DPD's sidecar.p4 table operations into sidecar-lite.p4's simplified P4 pipeline. ## AsicMulticastOps We replace the stubbed AsicMulticastOps implementation (which returned "OperationUnsupported" for group creation and port addition with in-memory group tracking via McGroupData, following the tofino_stub pattern. Group membership is used by the table translation layer to build port bitmaps for sidecar-lite's Replicate extern. Ports >= 128 are rejected at add time to match sidecar-lite's 128-bit bitmap width. ## Table translation (asic/src/softnpu/table.rs) We map sidecar.p4 table names to sidecar-lite equivalents and translate action parameters where the designs differ for emulation. All multicast action arms are gated with #[cfg(feature = "multicast")]. ## References - [softnpu #183](oxidecomputer/softnpu#183) - [propolis #1093](oxidecomputer/propolis#1093) - [p4rs #240](oxidecomputer/p4#240) - [sidecar-lite #152](oxidecomputer/sidecar-lite#152) - tokio: 1.50 (due to softnpu) - oxide-tokio-rt: 0.1.3 (following-up from tokio's move to 1.50)

A `None` update therefore cleared the P4 table but left a stale `Some([...])` in memory. All multicast action arms are gated with #[cfg(feature = "multicast")]. ## References and Deps - [softnpu #183](oxidecomputer/softnpu#183) - [propolis #1093](oxidecomputer/propolis#1093) - [p4rs #240](oxidecomputer/p4#240) - [sidecar-lite #152](oxidecomputer/sidecar-lite#152) - tokio: 1.50 (due to softnpu) - oxide-tokio-rt: 0.1.3 (following-up from tokio's move to 1.50) - bump oxide-tokio-rt to 0.1.4, tokio to 1.52.1 (matching Omicron)
