add support for low latency sockets

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Here is a sample patch
You can use it under any SW license you want to.

Add lls socket option support.
use --lls (value in usecs) to override global setting.
Right now we always get and print the value of the option before we set,
to show that the option works properly.
This should be removed in an official release.
