Add timestamping information as provided by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ioctl command in GET_INFO reply if ETH_INFO_IM_TSINFO flag is set in the request. Add constants for counts of HWTSTAMP_TX_* and HWTSTAM_FILTER_* constants and provide symbolic names for timestamping related values so that they can be retrieved in GET_STRSET and GET_INFO requests.

I don't know if you maintain a TODO for after when this patch series get merged, but we may want to start one :) -- Florian
