timestamp: Add function to get time since boot
Add a function to retrieve the elapsed time since boot. For that purpose use the base time in the timestamp table among with the current timestamp at call time of the function. So more precise the returned time is the elapsed time since the timestamp was initialized scaled in microseconds. This was chosen to get a reliable value even on platforms where the TSC might not be reset on software reset or warm start.
