[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 13/16] ethdev: add doxygen comment for Rx timestamp API

The offload flag DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_TIMESTAMP had no documentation.
After switching to dynamic mbuf flag and field,
it becomes even more important to explicit the feature behaviour.

A doxygen comment for the timesync API was mentioning
the deprecated timestamp field, so it is also updated.
