can: peak_usb: advertise timestamping capabilities and add ioctl support



Currently, userland has no method to query which timestamping features
are supported by the peak_usb driver (aside maybe of getting RX
messages and observe whether or not hardware timestamps stay at zero).

The canonical way to add hardware timestamp support is to implement
ethtool_ops::get_ts_info() in order to advertise the timestamping
capabilities and to implement net_device_ops::ndo_eth_ioctl() as
requested in [1]. Currently, the driver only supports hardware RX
timestamps [2] but not hardware TX. For this reason, the generic
function can_ethtool_op_get_ts_info_hwts() and can_eth_ioctl_hwts()
can not be reused and instead this patch adds pcan_get_ts_info() and
peak_eth_ioctl().
