docs: networking: timestamping: add section for stacked PHC devices

The concept of timestamping DSA switches / Ethernet PHYs is becoming
more and more popular, however the Linux kernel timestamping code has
evolved quite organically and there's layers upon layers of new and old
code that need to work together for things to behave as expected.

Add this chapter to explain what the overall goals are.

Loosely based upon this email discussion plus some more info:
