Previously, the TX burst size was fixed at 256, leading to performance
degradation in certain scenarios.
This patch introduces logic to set the TX burst size to match the
configured RX burst size (--burst option, default 32, max 512)
for better efficiency.
Fixes: d5c4897ecfb2 ("examples/l3fwd: add option to set Rx burst size")
