We only need the timestamp on COOKIE-ECHO chunks, so instead of always
timestamping every SCTP packet, let common code timestamp if the socket
option is set.  For COOKIE-ECHO, simply get the time of day if we don't
have a timestamp.  This introduces a small possibility that the cookie
may be considered expired, but it will be renegotiated.
