iavf: add support for Rx timestamps to hotpath



Add support for receive timestamps to the Rx hotpath. This support only
works when using the flexible descriptor format, so make sure that we
request this format by default if we have receive timestamp support
available in the PTP capabilities.

In order to report the timestamps to userspace, we need to perform
timestamp extension. The Rx descriptor does actually contain the "40
bit" timestamp. However, upper 32 bits which contain nanoseconds are
conveniently stored separately in the descriptor. We could extract the
32bits and lower 8 bits, then perform a bitwise OR to calculate the
40bit value. This makes no sense, because the timestamp extension
algorithm would simply discard the lower 8 bits anyways.

Thus, implement timestamp extension as iavf_ptp_extend_32b_timestamp(),
and extract and forward only the 32bits of nominal nanoseconds.
