IEEE 1588 v2.1 and ITU G.8275.1/2 call for an optional "synchronization
uncertain" flag passed in Announce messages along with the other flags
from the time properties data set. The value of the flag depends is a
logical OR function of the inputs from the remote master and the local
process. This patch adds background support for handling the flag.

This implements transmission and receipt of message interval requests.
Using this mechanism, a time-aware device can request change in sync,
link delay and announce intervals on the device connected on the other
end.
As part of the commit, we are also saving the initial values of Announce
and Sync Interval.
For more information look at sections 10.2.4.4, 10.3.9.5, 10.3.14, 10.4,
10.5.4 and 11.2.17 of 802.1AS standard
Please note that this commit does not implement logic related to
computeNeighborRateRatio and computeNeighborPropDelay flags mentioned in
Section 10.5.4.3.9 of 802.1AS Standard.

These functions are just wrappers. Make it possible for the compiler to
optimize the calls when compiled with optimization.

The field is redundant with the length tlv_list. Replace it with a
function msg_tlv_count() instead. This iterates over the tlv_list. The
computational overhead should be small, because the lists are very short
and the tlv_count is only used in management paths (yet).

With increasing unicast support, the code needs to identify unicast
messages more often. This patch replaces the open coded bit field
tests with a more readable in line helper function call.

The transparent clock will want to have two copies of certain messages,
one for forwarding and one for internal use (in the BMCA and for
syntonization). This patch add a function that duplicates a given
message, including all of the attached TLVs.

The 1588 standard defines one step operation for both Sync and
PDelay_Resp messages. Up until now, hardware with P2P one step has
been rare, and kernel support was lacking. This patch adds support of
the mode in anticipation of new kernel and hardware developments.

Convert a software timestamp to the internal tmv_t representation at
the earliest possible opportunity, to match the behaviour for hardware
timestamps.

Convert a hardware timestamp to the internal tmv_t representation at
the earliest possible opportunity. This allows us to:
- eliminate multiple redundant calls to timespec_to_tmv()
- use tmv_add() instead of open-coded manipulation of a struct
timespec in ts_add()
- use tmv_to_Timestamp() instead of open-coded manipulation of a
struct timespec and struct Timestamp in ts_to_Timestamp()
- use tmv_is_zero() instead of open-coded manipulation of a struct
timespec in msg_sots_valid()

In order to support multiple TLVs, the transmit code must be able to
append one TLV after another. This patch adds a method that checks
whether there is room, allocates the TLV descriptor, sets the buffer
pointer, and appends the descriptor to the list.

This patch changes the receive message parsing code to place each TLV
into the list. A method is introduced that allows attaching TLVs to
the end of the list.
In addition, msg.last_tlv is converted into a pointer to the last item
in the list. Because of this change, the transmit code that uses this
field now allocates a TLV before using it.

In order to support multiple TLVs per message, a list is needed.
This patch adds the list to the message structure. This list will
eventually replace the 'last_tlv' field.

This modifies all transports to use a new common address type, struct
address. This address is stored in a ptp_message for all received messages.
For sending, the "default" address is used with the default sending
functions, transport_send and transport_peer. The default address depends on
the transport; it's supposed to be the multicast address assigned by the
transport specification.
Later, a new transport_sendto function will be implemented that sends to the
address contained in the passed ptp_message.

The callers of those functions are all using ptp_message. As we're going to
return more information (the address), let those functions just fill in the
ptp_message fields directly.
Some minor reshuffling needed to prevent circular header dependencies.

When there is a peer speaking PTPv1 in the network we want to silently ignore
the packets instead of flooding system log with error messages. At the same
time we still want to report malformed packets. For that we reuse standard
error numbers and do more fine-grained error reporting in packet processing
routines.

These flexible TLVs don't need to be represented as a single packed
struct directly in the message buffer. Instead a separate struct
contains pointers to the individual parts of the TLV in the message
buffer. The flexible TLV can only be the last TLV in a message.

Some commercial 802.1AS switches do not feel obliged to set the two step
flag. When we try to synchronize to their apparent one step sync messages,
nothing good happens. This commit adds a global option to work around the
issue.

An oversize incoming packet might overwrite the reference counter in a
message. Prevent this by providing a buffer large enough for the largest
possible packet.
This will also be needed to support TLV suffixes.
