It's not possible to setup a queue when the port is started
because of a check in ethdev layer. New capability flags are
added in order to relax this check for devices which support
queue setup in runtime. The functions rte_eth_[rx|tx]_queue_setup
will raise an error only if the port is started and runtime setup
of queue is not supported.

The feature was added at the end of the table.
And the description was between the anchor _nic_features_timesync
and its title.
It is moved near related features with a new anchor.
It is also renamed from "mbuf fast free" to "fast mbuf free".

PMDs which expose this offload cap supports optimization for fast release
of mbufs following successful Tx.
Such optimization requires that per queue, all mbufs come from the same
mempool and has refcnt = 1.

Introduce a new API to configure Tx offloads.
In the new API, offloads are divided into per-port and per-queue
offloads. The PMD reports capability for each of them.
Offloads are enabled using the existing DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_* flags.
To enable per-port offload, the offload should be set on both device
configuration and queue configuration. To enable per-queue offload, the
offloads can be set only on queue configuration.
In addition the Tx offloads will be disabled by default and be
enabled per application needs. This will much simplify PMD management of
the different offloads.
Applications should set the ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_IGNORE flag on txq_flags
field in order to move to the new API.
The old Tx offloads API is kept for the meanwhile, in order to enable a
smooth transition for PMDs and application to the new API.
