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.

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.

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.

Instead of setting it to the PTP domain number, add a new option to
ptp4l and phc2sys to set it as needed. The default value is 0. This
allows multiple ptp4l/phc2sys instances running in the same domain.

This is a simple servo that provides the NTP SHM reference clock. It
doesn't make any clock adjustments and it always returns with the
unlocked state. It writes all samples to the SHM segment and another
process (e.g. chronyd or ntpd) is needed to read the samples and
actually synchronize the clock. The SHM segment number is set to the PTP
domain number to allow multiple SHM reference clocks running at the same
time.
This is mainly useful when other time sources are available on the
system (e.g. NTP, hardware reference clocks, or other PTP domains)
and a fallback to/from PTP is needed.

This servo uses linear regression to estimate current time and
frequency error. The number of points used in the regression is
variable (from 4 to 64 in powers of 2) and is selected by a long-term
statistic of the prediction error.
Future improvements could include tracking of sudden frequency changes
(e.g. due to temperature variations), better stability of the error
statistic when a large offset is corrected, options to set the speed of
the adaptation, minimum and maximum number of points, or an option to
prefer frequency accuracy over time accuracy.

These settings will be useful for all implemented servos, so move them
to the common servo code to avoid duplication. The configuration options
are renamed, but the they can be still set by their old names.

Add new options delay_filter and delay_filter_length to select the
filter and its length. They set both the clock delay filter and the port
peer delay filter. The default is now moving median with 10 samples.

Check the sanity of the synchronized clock by comparing its uncorrected
frequency with the system monotonic clock. When the measured frequency
offset is larger than the value of the sanity_freq_limit option (20% by
default), a warning message will be printed and the servo will be reset.
Setting the option to zero disables the check.
This is useful to detect when the clock is broken or adjusted by another
program.

Instead of using fixed constants, set them by the following formula from
the current sync to allow good performance of the servo even when the
sync interval changes in runtime and to avoid instability.
kp = min(kp_scale * sync^kp_exponent, kp_norm_max / sync)
ki = min(ki_scale * sync^ki_exponent, ki_norm_max / sync)
The scale, exponent and norm_max constants are configurable. The
defaults are chosen so there is no change to the previous default
constants of the servo with one second sync interval. The automatic
adjustment can be disabled by setting the pi_proportional_const and
pi_integral_const options to a non-zero value, but stability of the
servo is always enforced.

This patch adds support for using the configured_pi_f_offset servo option to ptp4l.
If "pi_f_offset_const 0.0" is specified in the config file, stepping on the first
update is prevented. If any other positive value is specified, stepping on the
first update occurs when the offset is larger than the specified value.

This patch adds functions to get int, uint, double value from string
with error checking and range specification.
These functions don't allow overflow and outside of the range values.
In addition, it adds parser_result cases "MALFORMED" and "OUT_OF_RANGE" to make
reason of parse error more clear.

This patch modifies sk_receive in order to use poll() on POLLERR instead of the
tryagain loop as this resolves issues with drivers who do not return timestamps
quickly enough. It also resolves the issue of wasting time repeating every
microsecond. It lets the kernel sleep our application until the data or timeout arrives.
This change also replaces the old tx_timestamp_retries config value with
tx_timestamp_timeout specified in milliseconds (the smallest length of time poll
accepts). This does have the side effect of increasing the minimum delay before
missing a timestamp by up to 1ms, but the poll should return sooner in the
normal case where a packet timestamp was not dropped.
This change vastly improves some devices and cleans the code up by simplifying a
race condition window due to drivers returning tx timestamp on the error queue.
[ RC - removed the unused 'try_again' variable. ]
