POSIX says we need the timestamps, but then it seems to only talk about
maintaining it for read() and write() but not for send()/recv(), so
that's not a very strong reason.

Pipes use getmicrotime() instead of getnanotime(). Both functions
are very fast. Cost shouldn't be an issue here.

The PRs are about fstat(1) not printing descriptors which was already
fixed by implementing output routines for the missing descriptor types
(e.g. DTYPE_MISC). The fix hasn't been pulled up.

N.B. fstat shows the missing descriptors only when you use -v
because the error message about an unsupported descriptor type
is printed as a debug message. I think that should be a regular
error message.
