packet_mmap: expose hw packet timestamps to network packet capture utilities
This patch adds a setting, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, to specify the packet
timestamp source that is exported to capture utilities like tcpdump by
packet_mmap.
PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as
SO_TIMESTAMPING. However, only the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE and
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by
PACKET_TIMESTAMP. SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set.
If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside
the networking stack is used (the behavior before this setting was
added).
