[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 14/16] mbuf: remove deprecated timestamp field

As announced in the deprecation note, the field timestamp
is removed to give more space to the dynamic fields.
The related offload flag PKT_RX_TIMESTAMP is also removed.

This is how the mbuf layout looks like (pahole-style):

word  type                              name                byte  size

 * mbuf: Some fields will be converted to dynamic API in DPDK 20.11
   in order to reserve more space for the dynamic fields, as explained in
   `this presentation <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttl6MlhmzWY>`_.
-  The following static fields will be moved as dynamic:
-
-  - ``timestamp``
-
   As a consequence, the layout of the ``struct rte_mbuf`` will be re-arranged,
   avoiding impact on vectorized implementation of the driver datapaths,
   while evaluating performance gains of a better use of the first cache line.
