Input: introduce EV_MSC Timestamp
Some devices provides the actual timestamp (hid_dg_scan_time in win8 ones) computed by the hardware itself. This value is global to the frame and is not specific to the multitouch protocol.

EV_MSC events are used for input and output events that do not fall under other
categories.
+A few EV_MSC codes have special meaning:

+* MSC_TIMESTAMP:
+ - Used to report the number of microseconds since the last reset. This event
+ should be coded as an uint32 value, which is allowed to wrap around with
+ no special consequence. It is assumed that the time difference between two
+ consecutive events is reliable on a reasonable time scale (hours).
+ A reset to zero can happen, in which case the time since the last event is
+ unknown. If the device does not provide this information, the driver must
+ not provide it to user space.
