tcp: export count for rehash attempts

Using IPv6 flow-label to swiftly route around avoid congested or disconnected network path can greatly improve TCP reliability. This patch adds SNMP counters and a OPT_STATS counter to track both host-level and connection-level statistics. Network administrators can use these counters to evaluate the impact of this new ability better. Export count for rehash attempts to 1) two SNMP counters: TcpTimeoutRehash (rehash due to timeouts), and TcpDuplicateDataRehash (rehash due to receiving duplicate packets) 2) Timestamping API SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS.
