Add ethdev public and driver-facing APIs for per-packet Tx
hardware timestamp slot management.

The existing `rte_eth_timesync_read_tx_timestamp()` exposes a
single shared latch, making it unreliable when multiple Tx
timestamps are outstanding concurrently. PMDs with per-packet
slot hardware cannot be exploited through this interface.

Introduce a slot lifecycle API:
- `rte_eth_timesync_tx_timestamp_slot_alloc()`: reserve a
  hardware slot before transmit
- `rte_eth_timesync_tx_timestamp_stamp_mbuf()`: embed slot
  handle into mbuf dynfield for per-packet NIC steering
- `rte_eth_timesync_read_tx_timestamp_slot()`: poll slot for
  a captured timestamp; returns -EAGAIN if not ready
- `rte_eth_timesync_tx_timestamp_slot_release()`: return slot
  to PMD after readback or timeout

Introduce `rte_eth_timesync_dual_domain_timestamp` to carry
both the adjusted PHC time (`adjusted_ns`) and free-running
cycles-domain time (`cycles_ns`), each with an individual
validity bit in `valid_mask`.
