samples/bpf: xdpsock: Add cyclic TX operation capability

Tx cycle time is in micro-seconds unit. By combining the batch size (-b M)
and Tx cycle time (-T|--tx-cycle N), xdpsock now can transmit batch-size of
packets every N-us periodically. Cyclic TX operation is not applicable if
--poll mode is used.

To transmit 16 packets every 1ms cycle time for total of 100000 packets
silently:
 $ xdpsock -i eth0 -T -N -z -T 1000 -b 16 -C 100000

To print cyclic TX schedule variance stats, use --app-stats|-a:
 $ xdpsock -i eth0 -T -N -z -T 1000 -b 16 -C 100000 -a
