vpp: T8315: Add support for configuring unsupported NICs and update compatible list

Introduce `set vpp settings unsupported nics <pci-id>` and
`set vpp settings unsupported drivers <driver>` to permit VPP activation
on hardware not present in the validated NIC list. Update current compatible list.
