SO_TXTIME hardware offload requires testing across devices, either
between machines or separate network namespaces.
Split up SO_TXTIME test into tx and rx modes, so traffic can be
sent from one process to another. Create a veth-pair on different
namespaces and bind each process to an end point via [-S]ource and
[-D]estination parameters. Optional start [-t]ime parameter can be
passed to synchronize the test across the hosts (with synchorinzed
clocks).

The SO_TXTIME test depends on accurate timers. In some virtualized
environments the test has been reported to be flaky. This is easily
reproduced by disabling kvm acceleration in Qemu.
Allow greater variance in a run and retry to further reduce flakiness.
Observed errors are one of two kinds: either the packet arrives too
early or late at recv(), or it was dropped in the qdisc itself and the
recv() call times out.
In the latter case, the qdisc queues a notification to the error
queue of the send socket. Also explicitly report this cause.

The SO_TXTIME API enables packet tranmission with delayed delivery.
This is currently supported by the ETF and FQ packet schedulers.
Evaluate the interface with both schedulers. Install the scheduler
and send a variety of packets streams: without delay, with one
delayed packet, with multiple ordered delays and with reordering.
Verify that packets are released by the scheduler in expected order.
The ETF qdisc requires a timestamp in the future on every packet. It
needs a delay on the qdisc else the packet is dropped on dequeue for
having a delivery time in the past. The test value is experimentally
derived. ETF requires clock_id CLOCK_TAI. It checks this base and
drops for non-conformance.
The FQ qdisc expects clock_id CLOCK_MONOTONIC, the base used by TCP
as of commit fb420d5d91c1 ("tcp/fq: move back to CLOCK_MONOTONIC").
Within a flow there is an expecation of ordered delivery, as shown by
delivery times of test 4. The FQ qdisc does not require all packets to
have timestamps and does not drop for non-conformance.
The large (msec) delays are chosen to avoid flakiness.
Output:
SO_TXTIME ipv6 clock monotonic
payload:a delay:28 expected:0 (us)
SO_TXTIME ipv4 clock monotonic
payload:a delay:38 expected:0 (us)
SO_TXTIME ipv6 clock monotonic
