Approach
What is the motivation for this PR?
Improve the nic_simulator upstream nic traffic flow.
Currently, the upstream traffic from server nic is duplicated to both ToRs.
So the grpc traffic to the lower ToR could be forwarded to the upper ToR in such case, and those
traffic will go out the upper ToR via the default route though the port-channels. And those trivial traffic
will make some noises so some of the testcases that verify the port/queue counters will fail.

How did you do it?
Add two dedicated flows:
one to forward the traffic with upper ToR loopback IP to the upper ToR.
one to forward the traffic with lower ToR loopback IP to the lower ToR.
How did you verify/test it?
run
test_bgp_queues
and verify that the counters on tx queue 1 don't increase.Any platform specific information?
Supported testbed topology if it's a new test case?
