p4c does not support option `--p4runtime-entries-files`

$ p4c --version
p4c 1.2.4.0 (SHA: 0d3dcd626 BUILD: DEBUG)

but p4test and I believe other backends do support this option:

$ p4test --arch v1model --p4runtime-files tmp/p4info.txt --p4runtime-entries-files tmp/entries.txt table-entries-ternary-bmv2.p4
