[PATCH net-next v2 2/6] rust: time: Introduce Delta type

[FUJITA Tomonori]

Introduce a type representing a span of time. Define our own type
because `core::time::Duration` is large and could panic during
creation.

We could use time::Ktime for time duration but timestamp and timedelta
are different so better to use a new type.
