net: infrastructure for hardware time stamping

The additional per-packet information (16 bytes for time stamps, 1
byte for flags) is stored for all packets in the skb_shared_info
struct. This implementation detail is hidden from users of that
information via skb_* accessor functions. A separate struct resp.
union is used for the additional information so that it can be
stored/copied easily outside of skb_shared_info.

Compared to previous implementations (reusing the tstamp field
depending on the context, optional additional structures) this
is the simplest solution. It does not extend sk_buff itself.

TX time stamping is implemented in software if the device driver
doesn't support hardware time stamping.

The new semantic for hardware/software time stamping around
ndo_start_xmit() is based on two assumptions about existing
network device drivers which don't support hardware time
stamping and know nothing about it:
 - they leave the new skb_shared_tx unmodified
 - the keep the connection to the originating socket in skb->sk
   alive, i.e., don't call skb_orphan()

Given that skb_shared_tx is new, the first assumption is safe.
The second is only true for some drivers. As a result, software
TX time stamping currently works with the bnx2 driver, but not
with the unmodified igb driver (the two drivers this patch series
was tested with).
