  From: Chengwen Feng <fengchengwen@huawei.com>

This patch support tx_done_cleanup command:
tx_done_cleanup port (port_id) (queue_id) (free_cnt)

Users must make sure there are no concurrent access to the same Tx
queue (like rte_eth_tx_burst, rte_eth_dev_tx_queue_stop and so on)
this command executed.

V3->V4:
- revert the V3 scheme.

V2->V3:
- The command implementation is changed so that the queuestate does
  not depend on the command execution.

V1->V2:
- use Tx instead of TX
- add note in doc

Instead of creating a new root level, 'tx_done_cleanup' command, what do you 
think to use existing port command, something like:

"port cleanup <port_id> txq <queue_id> <free_cnt>"

If 'free_cnt' is '0', driver should free all possible mbufs, can you add this 
detail to help?

Should there be a check to see if testpmd forwarding is stared or not?
This API shouldn't be allowed when forwarding is started.
