Vedang Patel 83be05256b Add BMCA config option.
This adds config option to specify static roles for master and slave
in the Best Master Clock Algorithm. This is the case for Automotive
Profile where networks are mostly static and role for each device is
known in advance.

masterOnly and slaveOnly will be used to determine the roles for the
devices. Since masterOnly is a per-port config and slaveOnly is a global
config option, role assignment will be slightly odd in case of bridges.
If slaveOnly is set to 1, all the ports will be in slave roles except
for the ones where masterOnly is set to 1. These ports will assume the
master role.

Two new FSMs which will be used for master and slave roles for this
config option have also been added.

Richard Cochran dc1b7c66c6 bmc: Make the second part of the data set comparison algorithm public.
This code will be shared by future alternative algorithms.

Richard Cochran 1b3ef0d195 bmc: Allow alternative data set comparison algorithms.
Instead of using a hard coded algorithm, let the caller provide the
function that performs the comparison.  This will allow implementing
alternative algorithms from PTP profiles.

Richard Cochran 46db400589 Become the grand master when all alone.
This patch cleans up the BMC logic to allow assuming the GM role when no
other clocks are found in the network. By allowing the "best" to be NULL,
we can let the BMC to naturally pick the local clock as GM. As an added
bonus, this also get rid of the hacky check for a lost master.

Richard Cochran c2fad7bd51 Fix the BMC state decision algorithm.
We failed to make the distinction between plain old "better" and
"better by topology," but the BMC algorithm really counts on this.

Richard Cochran 807ec32c96 Fix wrong result from the best master clock algorithm.
The BMC should never return 'faulty', and I don't know what I was thinking
here, so let's just fix it.

Richard Cochran c9a15e6094 Add the best master clock algorithm.
This commit also introduces clock and port objects, but only with the
minimal interface needed by the BMC.
