dev: Extentions to etherlink to work for pd-gem5

This patch extends etherlink to enable accurate/deterministic simulation of
a cluster using pd-gem5

This patch adds 4 different operation modes to etherlink:

mode 0: default etherlink operation

mode 1 (no_delay): ehterlink instantly delivers incoming packets to peer

mode 2 (nic_connector): based on whether the packet is received from int0 or
int1, etherlink adds a time stamp to packet or extract time-stamp from packet
respectively, then delivers it to peer.
We assume that int0 is always connected to NIC and int1 to ethertap.

mode 3 (sw_connector): etherlink adds link latency to packet time-stamp and
delivers it to peer instantly.
