net-timestamp: COMPLETION timestamp on packet tx completion
Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_COMPLETION, for requesting a software timestamp
when hardware reports a packet completed.
Completion tstamp is useful for Bluetooth, as hardware timestamps do not
exist in the HCI specification except for ISO packets, and the hardware
has a queue where packets may wait. In this case the software SND
timestamp only reflects the kernel-side part of the total latency
(usually small) and queue length (usually 0 unless HW buffers
congested), whereas the completion report time is more informative of
the true latency.
It may also be useful in other cases where HW TX timestamps cannot be
obtained and user wants to estimate an upper bound to when the TX
probably happened.
