Subject: [RFC net-next v2 2/3] devlink: health: add remediation type

Currently devlink health does not give user any clear information
of what kind of remediation ->recover callback will perform. This
makes it difficult to understand the impact of enabling auto-
-remediation, and the severity of the error itself.

To allow users to make more informed decision add a new remediation
type attribute.

Note that we only allow one remediation type per reporter, this
is intentional. devlink health is not built for mixing issues
of different severity into one reporter since it only maintains
one dump, of the first event and a single error counter.
Nudging vendors towards categorizing issues beyond coarse
groups is an added bonus.
