Missing method to specify the arrival time when creating Packets from scratch. #104

When writing data packets (read from another source, timestamped) into a PCAP file, it would be be nice to be able to set the arrival time to the time of that packet. And NOT the current system time.

In other words, I'm looking for a new method TransportPacketFactory.create(...,long arrivalTime) where I can explicitly specify the time of that packet. My processing time, is not the same as the packet's reception time.

Yep, good one. I'll see when I get to it but of course, pull requests are welcome!
