igc: Enhance Qbv scheduling by using first flag bit
The I225 hardware has a limitation that packets can only be scheduled in the [0, cycle-time] interval. So, scheduling a packet to the start of the next cycle doesn't usually work. To overcome this, we use the Transmit Descriptor first flag to indicates that a packet should be the first packet (from a queue) in a cycle according to the section 7.5.2.9.3.4 The First Packet on Each QBV Cycle in Intel Discrete I225/6 User Manual. But this only works if there was any packet from that queue during the current cycle, to avoid this issue, we issue an empty packet if that's not the case. Also require one more descriptor to be available, to take into account the empty packet that might be issued. Test Setup: Talker: Use l2_tai to generate the launchtime into packet load. Listener: Use timedump.c to compute the delta between packet arrival and LaunchTime packet payload.
