Egress Policer CIR Packet Handling with Profile Capped Mode
First, the soft-in-profile received from ingress is handled in a similar fashion as egress explicit
profile in reclassification unless the packet has been reclassified to profile out at egress.
Second, explicit egress profile in and soft-in-profile that has not been reclassified to profile out at
egress are allowed to be marked out-of-profile by an egress policer with CIR not set to 0.
Third, when the policer has a CIR = 0 rate (the default rate), all profile capped packets are treated
as out-of-profile independent of the initial profile state.
