Add weight parameter to the sample function. Samples with smaller weight
are less reliable, they can be ignored by the servo or the adjustments
of the clock can be smaller.

Add new time stamp processing modes to return raw delay and offset based
on the raw delay instead of the long-term filtered delay, and to return
also a weight of the sample. The weight is set to the ratio between the
two delays. This gives smaller weight to samples where the sync and/or
delay messages were delayed significantly in the network and possibly
include a large error.

When switching clock devices in JBOD mode, we need to be able to reset the
servo. The existing servo_reset() function will not serve us well, because
in this case we also need to seed the existing frequency offset and limit.
This patch adds a new method that simply starts the servo from scratch.
In the unlikely event of a resource allocation failure, the method will
simply continue to use the previous device, which is better than nothing
and certainly preferable to bailing out the program.

For the ports to be truly created and removed dynamically, the last used

There's no need to regenerate pollfd multiple times during batches of port

once it's needed.

Remove the limit of MAX_PORTS ports (default 8) and keep the ports in
a linked list. This allows ptp4l to be used on large machines and in the
future, it will allow dynamic adding and removing of ports while ptp4l is
running.
For this to work, pollfd needs to be dynamically allocated. Changed pollfd
handling from clock_install_fda/clock_remove_fda to notification
(clock_fda_changed), where the clock will rebuild pollfd by querying all its
ports.

Introduce a new function to inform the servo about upcoming leap second.
This is used when the kernel leap is disabled to allow the servo to

Split management message creation to more fine-grained functions to allow
notification messages to be created.
The new clock_management_fill_response is called from
clock_management_get_response (so the function behaves exactly the same as
before this patch) and from a new clock_notify_event function. The
difference is clock_management_get_response uses the request message to
construct the reply message, while clock_notify_event constructs the reply
message based on the notification id.

Currently, it is assumed that the management TLV data of management COMMAND

With the new linreg servo the frequency offset and time offset are
controlled separately. The ratio between master's frequency and the
current frequency of the local clock is known and can be used when
calculating delay or peer delay to improve their accuracy.
This greatly improves the stability of the delay when the servo is
correcting a large offset.

The 'struct interface' for the UDS port is allocated on the stack, and
when this gets passed to port_open, the port instance takes a pointer to
the string in the 'name' field. Currently this is harmless for the UDS
port, but it is not good form. This patch fixes the issue by making the
interface part of the clock instance.

Although it does not need to, the UDS port tries to allocate a filter,
just as any normal port would. Since the given length is zero, the
filter tries to allocate storage of size zero. When running with
uClibc, calloc(1, 0) returns NULL, but glibc is apparently returning
"a unique pointer value that can later be successfully passed to
free()." Both behaviors are allowed (see MALLOC(3)).
This patch works around the issue by letting the UDS port have a
filter of length one.
