[RFC PATCH v4 3/3] app/testpmd: add Tx timestamp capabilities command

Add "show port <port_id> tx_timestamp_caps" to report the Tx timestamp
slot capabilities of a port: the slot type reported by the driver and the
number of available slots.

When the port supports per-packet slots, the command also performs an
allocate and release round-trip so the slot management API can be
exercised from the command line.
