mlxsw: spectrum: Set minimum shaper on MC TCs 

An MC-aware mode was introduced in commit 7b81953066 ("mlxsw:
spectrum: Configure MC-aware mode on mlxsw ports"). In MC-aware mode,
BUM traffic gets a special treatment by being assigned to a separate set
of traffic classes 8..15. Pairs of TCs 0 and 8, 1 and 9, etc., are then
configured to strictly prioritize the lower-numbered ones. The intention
is to prevent BUM traffic from flooding the switch and push out all UC
traffic, which would otherwise happen, and instead give UC traffic
precedence.

However strictly prioritizing UC traffic has the effect that UC overload
pushes out all BUM traffic, such as legitimate ARP queries. These
packets are kept in queues for a while, but under sustained UC overload,
their lifetime eventually expires and these packets are dropped. That is
detrimental to network performance as well.

Therefore configure the MC TCs (8..15) with minimum shaper of 200Mbps (a
minimum permitted value) to allow a trickle of necessary control traffic
to get through.
