This patch adds functions that will set and lock a certain value. The
intended use of these methods is to give command line options priority
over the configuration file.

This patch introduces generic code for adding and parsing new options.
The public 'get' methods return option values directly. Although the
API is easy to use, it does not provide error checking in case the
option does not exist or if there is a type mismatch.
Therefore the code performs a BIST to ensure that the options are
properly populated. In addition, the code terminates the program in
case of missing options or type mismatches. This heavy handed
approach is meant to catch errors during development and should never
trigger during normal usage.
As a first element, we include an option for specifying the UDP TTL.
Users are required to call 'config_init', and so this patch add that into
all three programs, ptp4l, phc2sys and pmc.

In the near future, the transports will need to consult the configuration
database in order to obtain various options. This patch also introduces
the idea of a configuration file into the phc2sys and pmc programs.

This function allows the ports to read configuration variables without
changing the port method signatures.

This will help us to simplify the passing of parameters between the main
program. clock, and ports.

When running with Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), the correct clock
frequency is provided by the link partner. In this case, only the
offset needs correcting.
This patch provides SyncE nodes with an way to keep the frequency
correction dialed to zero.

Instead of killing the whole process group, which may contain other
processes than timemaster and its children (e.g. when it is started from
a shell script), save the PIDs and kill the processes individually.

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.

Introduce a time stamp processor for offset/delay calculations and use

Convert time stamps to tmv_t and apply all corrections before passing

When no source is found in the automatic mode and a clock is selected as
the default source, set its state temporarily to slave to prevent the
clock from being synchronized to itself and drifting quickly away.
Also, don't use this mode with only one PTP clock and don't include the
system clock.
This fixes phc2sys with SHM servo (e.g. used by timemaster).
In ntp-4.2.8p1 the segment access was made configurable with the
refclock mode option. Set the mode to 1 to create all SHM segments
with owner-only access.
If we have clocks to synchronize but no source, just pick the last one in
the list, which is the first one from the ptp4l command line.

When running a "jbod" Boundary Clock, as long as we have one slaved port,
we always want the clocks on the other ports to be synchronized, regardless
of their port state.

If the user has configured the appropriate option, then simply warn
about the clock device mismatch, and then go on in "JBOD" mode.
Whenever the port enters the uncalibrated state, it tells the clock
to switch to the new PHC device.

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.

This patch adds a configuration option that allows running a boundary clock
using "just a bunch of devices". Normally each port is probed to make sure
they all share the same PTP hardware clock, but this option will allow a
heterogeneous collection of devices, should the user really want it.

The stats for the maximum size were not reset, which caused the
the servo to reuse old data instead of returning with unlocked
