devlink: Make health reporter burst period configurable

Enable configuration of the burst period — a time window starting
from the first error recovery, during which the reporter allows
recovery attempts for each reported error.

This feature is helpful when a single underlying issue causes multiple
errors, as it delays the start of the grace period to allow sufficient
time for recovering all related errors. For example, if multiple TX
queues time out simultaneously, a sufficient burst period could allow
all affected TX queues to be recovered within that window. Without this
period, only the first TX queue that reports a timeout will undergo
recovery, while the remaining TX queues will be blocked once the grace
period begins.

Configuration example:
$ devlink health set pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter tx burst_period 500

Configuration example with ynl:
./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py \
 --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml \
 --do health-reporter-set --json '{
  "bus-name": "auxiliary",
  "dev-name": "mlx5_core.eth.0",
  "port-index": 65535,
  "health-reporter-name": "tx",
  "health-reporter-burst-period": 500
}'
