[PATCH] dts: add dpdk shell warm up period

[Patrick Robb]

When running our existing DTS testsuites on a new
NIC we observed packets would not transmit from
the traffic generator to the system under test
even after DPDK testpmd and the NIC under test
had indicated readiness through the existing
readiness checks in DTS. After adding in a warm up
sleep to DPDK shells, this issue was resolved.
Correctness is more important than execution
speed in DTS, so it seems justified to slow down
the execution a little in order to make the
testing framework less fragile to such device
specific bringup behaviors.
