Replace the unused RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP ring buffer type with
RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTEND_ABS, which forces extended time_deltas for
all events.
Having time_deltas that aren't dependent on previous events in the
ring buffer makes it feasible to use the ring_buffer_event timetamps
in a more random-access way, to be used for purposes other than serial
event printing.
To set/reset this mode, use tracing_set_timestamp_abs().
