fping 5.2 and 5.3 add some new useful command line options
which this commit add to check_fping.

These are:

 * --fwmark - sets a firewall mark in the packages to make them
   identifiable (fping 5.2)
 * --icmp-timestamp - fping uses ICMP timestamp instead of ICMP
   Echo (fping 5.2)
 * --check-source - fping discards replies which originate not from
   the target address (fping 5.2)

The fping release notes describe theses options ( https://github.com/schweikert/fping/releases )
in a little bit more detail.
Currently the help display for those options is only shown
when fping was available in the appropriate version during
compilation.
