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.

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.

We failed to make the distinction between plain old "better" and
"better by topology," but the BMC algorithm really counts on this.

The BMC should never return 'faulty', and I don't know what I was thinking
here, so let's just fix it.

This commit also introduces clock and port objects, but only with the
minimal interface needed by the BMC.
