  This patch adds support to start or stop a particular queue
that is associated with the adapter.

Start function enables the Tx Adapter to start enqueueing
packets to the Tx queue.

Stop function stops the Tx Adapter from transmitting any
mbufs to the Tx queue. The Tx Adapter also frees any mbufs
that it may have buffered for this queue. All inflight packets
destined to the queue are freed until the queue is started again.

In general, new APIs look good to me if it is helping the SW driver.
I will wait for comment from @Jayatheerthan, Jay

Some comments below

Please squash 3/3 to 1/3.

Please update doc/guides/prog_guide/event_ethernet_tx_adapter.rst for
new APIs doc for
What is this API and when to use this API etc.

Yes @jerin, these APIs help avoid some unexpected behavior with application stopping ethdev Tx queues and Tx adapter being unaware of it. With these APIs, the application can call stop API to notify Tx adapter that corresponding ethdev Tx queue is stopped and any in-flight packets are freed by Tx adapter dataplane code. Tx adapter stop API is called before stopping the ethdev Tx queue. When ethdev Tx queue is enabled, application can notify Tx adapter to resume processing of the packets for that queue by calling the start API. The ethdev Tx queue is started before calling Tx adapter start API.

Perhaps, some of this usecase description can go into event_ethernet_tx_adapter.rst and doxygen comments for the APIs. @Harish, could you add please ?
