Fix inaccurate low tx rates (~1000pps) in seq mode

Creation of explicit packet sets had both a packet set delay and a list loop
delay set leading to lower than configured rate at tx. Earlier implicit
packet set always had set delay as 0 and only list loop delay was used.

Fix is to always set list loop delay to 0 in sequential mode as packet set
will have the correct delay set due to explicit packet sets.
