Add devargs support to modify number of chunk slots. Chunks are used to
store event timers, a chunk can be visualised as an array where the last
element points to the next chunk and rest of them are used to store
events. TIM traverses the list of chunks and enqueues the event timers
to SSO.
If no argument is passed then a default value of 255 is taken.
Example:
--dev "0002:0e:00.0,tim_chnk_slots=511"

If the chunks are allocated from NPA then TIM can automatically free
them when traversing the list of chunks.
Add devargs to disable NPA and use software mempool to manage chunks.
Example:
--dev "0002:0e:00.0,tim_disable_npa=1"

When the application calls timer adapter create the following is used:
- Allocate a TIM lf based on number of lf's provisioned.
- Verify the config parameters supplied.
- Allocate memory required for
* Buckets based on min and max timeout supplied.
* Allocate the chunk pool based on the number of timers.
On Free:
- Free the allocated bucket and chunk memory.
- Free the TIM lf allocated.
