Introduce an option to ignore the transport specific field.

Up until now the transportSpecific field has been treated according to
802.1AS, namely as a field that must match exactly on receive.
However, 1588 mandates ignoring this field for some transports, and
there is equipment in the wild that does in fact set the reserved
bits.

This patch adds an option to ignore the field on receive completely.

.B ignore_transport_specific
By default, incoming messages are dropped if their transportSpecific
field does not match the configured value. However, many of
transports specified in the 1588 standard mandate ignoring this field.
Moreover, some equipment is known to set the reserved bits.
Configuring this option as 1 causes this field to be ignored
completely on receive. The default is 0.
