tc: Add support for configuring the taprio scheduler

This traffic scheduler allows traffic classes states (transmission
allowed/not allowed, in the simplest case) to be scheduled, according
to a pre-generated time sequence. This is the basis of the IEEE
802.1Qbv specification.

Example configuration:

tc qdisc replace dev enp3s0 parent root handle 100 taprio \
          num_tc 3 \
	  map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 \
	  queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 \
	  base-time 1528743495910289987 \
	  sched-entry S 01 300000 \
	  sched-entry S 02 300000 \
	  sched-entry S 04 300000 \
	  clockid CLOCK_TAI

The configuration format is similar to mqprio. The main difference is
the presence of a schedule, built by multiple "sched-entry"
definitions, each entry has the following format:

     sched-entry <CMD> <GATE MASK> <INTERVAL>

The only supported <CMD> is "S", which means "SetGateStates",
following the IEEE 802.1Qbv-2015 definition (Table 8-6). <GATE MASK>
is a bitmask where each bit is a associated with a traffic class, so...
