[PATCH v3 0/9] net/pcap: improvements and test coverage

[Stephen Hemminger]

This series brings several improvements to the PCAP PMD:

 - Update documentation to reflect actually supported features
 - Code cleanups: remove unnecessary rte_malloc/rte_memcpy usage,
   convert flags to bool, remove global variables, avoid volatile
 - Add MTU set support for single interface mode
 - Add Tx offload support
 - Support nanosecond timestamp precision
 - Add comprehensive test suite

This was done via mix of new code and AI feedback.
