ptp: Request cycles for TX timestamp 

The free running cycle counter of physical clocks called cycles shall be
used for hardware timestamps to enable synchronisation.

Introduce new flag SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP_USE_CYCLES, which signals driver to
provide a TX timestamp based on cycles if cycles are supported.
