Ederson de Souza 216d6dd0f0 GstSystemClock: Add GST_CLOCK_TYPE_TAI
GST_CLOCK_TYPE_TAI is GStreamer abstraction for CLOCK_TAI. Main
motivation for this patch is support for transmission offloading features
- when network packets are timestamped with the time they are deemed to
be actually transmitted. Linux API for that requires that time to be
in CLOCK_TAI coordinate.

With GST_CLOCK_TYPE_TAI, applications can use CLOCK_TAI directly on
their pipelines, avoiding the need to cross timestamp packet times. By
leveraging system's CLOCK_TAI, applications also don't need to keep track
of leap seconds - less burden for them. Just keep system's CLOCK_TAI
accurate and use it.
