docs: qualify RTT-unaffected claim to raw RTT only
adjusted_rtt_us/effective_rtt_us are derived in part from server-reported processing time, which is computed from the same server receive endpoint the client_to_server one-way-delay field documents as kernel-preferred. Only raw RTT is guaranteed to stay on userspace monotonic timing; say so precisely instead of claiming RTT in general is unaffected.

Adjusted RTT can be negative when server processing exceeds the measured raw RTT. One-way delay estimates can be negative because of clock skew between the client and server.

On Linux, `sd_us` and `rd_us` (and the underlying one-way delay samples) prefer kernel-captured send/receive timestamps over userspace timing where the platform and socket support them, reducing the effect of scheduling and queuing delay on these measurements. This is a best-effort fallback: unsupported or implausible kernel timestamps fall back to userspace timing. RTT always uses userspace timing and is unaffected.
