This patch adds retry option in testpmd to prevent most packet losses.
It can be enabled by "set fwd <mode> retry". All modes except rxonly
support this option.
Adding retry mechanism expands test case coverage to support scenarios
where packet loss affects test results.

depending on the PMD, it might not be 0.
Therefore, user has to overwrite it with --txqflags 0.
