[PATCH v5 1/3] dts: allow mbuf_fast_free to be set with testpmd shell

Currently, there is no way in the testpmd shell class to set the mbuf
fast free offload configuration for queues or ports. This prohibits any
test suites to be written utilizing this offload configuration.
Introduce methods that support calls to testpmd in order to allow
the configuration of mbuf fast free.
