can: add Transmitter Delay Compensation (TDC) documentation
Back in 2021, support for CAN TDC was added to the kernel in series [1] and in iproute2 in series [2]. However, the documentation was never updated. Add a new sub-section under CAN-FD driver support to document how to configure the TDC using the "ip tool".

Transmitter Delay Compensation
1468+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1469+
1470+
At high bit rates, the propagation delay from the TX pin to the RX pin of
1471+
the transceiver might become greater than the actual bit time causing
1472+
measurement errors: the RX pin would still be measuring the previous bit.
1473+
1474+
The Transmitter Delay Compensation (thereafter, TDC) resolves this problem
1475+
by introducing a Secondary Sample Point (SSP) equal to the distance, in
1476+
minimum time quantum, from the start of the bit time on the TX pin to the
1477+
actual measurement on the RX pin. The SSP is calculated as the sum of two
1478+
configurable values: the TDC Value (TDCV) and the TDC offset (TDCO).
1479+
1480+
TDC, if supported by the device, can be configured together with CAN-FD
1481+
using the ip tool's "tdc-mode" argument as follow:
1482+
1483+
**omitted**
1484+
When no "tdc-mode" option is provided, the kernel will automatically
1485+
decide whether TDC should be turned on, in which case it will
1486+
calculate a default TDCO and use the TDCV as measured by the
1487+
device. This is the recommended method to use TDC.
1488+
1489+
**"tdc-mode off"**
1490+
TDC is explicitly disabled.
1491+
1492+
**"tdc-mode auto"**
1493+
The user must provide the "tdco" argument. The TDCV will be
1494+
automatically calculated by the device. This option is only
1495+
available if the device supports the TDC-AUTO CAN controller mode.
1496+
1497+
**"tdc-mode manual"**
1498+
The user must provide both the "tdco" and "tdcv" arguments. This
1499+
option is only available if the device supports the TDC-MANUAL CAN
1500+
controller mode.
1501+
1502+
Note that some devices may offer an additional parameter: "tdcf" (TDC Filter
1503+
window). If supported by your device, this can be added as an optional
1504+
argument to either "tdc-mode auto" or "tdc-mode manual".
