  When debugging driver or startup issues, it is useful to have
a timestamp on each message printed. The messages in syslog
already have a timestamp, but often syslog is not available
during testing.

There are multiple timestamp formats similar to Linux dmesg.
The default is time relative since startup (when first
step of logging initialization is done by constructor).
Other alternative formats are delta, ctime, reltime and iso formats.

Example:
$ dpdk-testpmd --log-timestamp -- -i
[     0.008610] EAL: Detected CPU lcores: 8
[     0.008634] EAL: Detected NUMA nodes: 1
[     0.008792] EAL: Detected static linkage of DPDK
[     0.010620] EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/rte/mp_socket
[     0.012618] EAL: Selected IOVA mode 'VA'
[     0.016675] testpmd: No probed ethernet devices
Interactive-mode selected
