The Linux kernel supports a hardware time stamping mode that allows
sending a one step sync message. This commit adds support for this mode
by expanding the time stamp type enumeration. In order to enable this
mode, the configuration must specify both hardware time stamping and set
the twoStepFlag to false.
We still do not support the one step peer delay request mechanism since
there is neither kernel nor hardware support for it at this time.

this patch changes sk_interface_phc to sk_get_ts_info, by allowing the function
to store all the data returned by Ethtool's get_ts_info IOCTL in a struct. A new
struct "sk_ts_info" contains the same data as well as a field for specifying the
structure as valid (in order to support old kernels without the IOCTL). The
valid field should be set only when the IOCTL successfully populates the fields.
A follow-on patch will add new functionality possible because of these
changes. This patch only updates the programs which use the call to perform the
minimum they already do, using the new interface.

It seems with some cards the current default of 2 is too small, increase
the number to prevent users from having to investigate the EAGAIN error
messages.

Now that the code automatically falls back to transport-specific time
stamping, this option is no longer needed.

Start with the most general HWTSTAMP option. If that fails, fall back
to the option that best fits the interface's transport.

If the kernel supports the ioctl, but the driver does not (like igb in
kernel version 3.5), then ptp4l will incorrectly choose the system clock.

Some of the time stamping hardware out there only recognizes layer 2
packets, and these do not work without changing the receive filter in
the SIOCSHWTSTAMP request.

If the new ethtool operation is supported, then use it to verify that the PHC
selected by the user is correct. If the user doesn't specify a PHC and ethtool
is supported then automatically select the PHC device.
If the user specifies a PHC device, and the ethtool operation is suppported,
automatically confirm that the PHC device requested is correct. This check is
performed for all ports, in order to verify that a boundary clock setup is
valid.
The check for PHC device validity is not done in the transport because the
only thing necessary for performing the check is the port name. Handled this
in the port_open code instead.

In some error cases, no message is logged. Now we always complain loudly
when an error occurs.
