[PATCH dpdk] telemetry: fix adding dicts in container arrays

Currently, adding TEL_DICT containers in TEL_ARRAY_CONTAINER containers
is not supported by rte_tel_data_add_array_container. It wrongfully
returns -EINVAL where it should allow it.

This is supported by the JSON formatter.

Allow the same value types than rte_tel_data_add_dict_container().

Fixes: c933bb5177ca ("telemetry: support array values in data object")
