net: new user space API for time stamping of incoming and outgoing packets

User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
separately for each field in the message because some of the
fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
and choose what suits its needs.

When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
associated with it.

The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
start_hard_xmit routine.

+ * This program demonstrates how the various time stamping features in
+ * the Linux kernel work. It emulates the behavior of a PTP
+ * implementation in stand-alone master mode by sending PTPv1 Sync
+ * multicasts once every second. It looks for similar packets, but
+ * beyond that doesn't actually implement PTP.
+ *
+ * Outgoing packets are time stamped with SO_TIMESTAMPING with or
+ * without hardware support.
+ *
+ * Incoming packets are time stamped with SO_TIMESTAMPING with or
+ * without hardware support, SIOCGSTAMP[NS] (per-socket time stamp) and
+ * SO_TIMESTAMP[NS].
