    liboping: use SO_TIMESTAMP when available
    
    Current implementation of liboping relies on getting enough CPU shares
    and getting those in a timely manner in order to determine correct ping
    response times.
    
    Avoid this limitation when kernel is able to provide packet reception
    times using SO_TIMESTAMP. (as is done by iputils's ping utility)
