This patch adds support for packing and unpacking the NSM TLVs. In
addition, it introduces macros to make the ntoh/htoh boilerplate easier
to read. The idea is to reduce the number of monstrous muti-line
assignments like:
pds->grandmasterClockQuality.offsetScaledLogVariance =
htons(pds->grandmasterClockQuality.offsetScaledLogVariance);

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.

We are programming C, not Java, and so opening braces of a function
belong on a line all by themselves.

Add expiration time to subscriptions; they need to be renewed before they
expiry. This way, the subscription automatically times out when phc2sys is
killed.

This puts groundwork for event subscription and notification. The individual
events are added by subsequent patches.

Currently, it is assumed that the management TLV data of management COMMAND
messages is always empty. This is not true for the INITIALIZE command and
also for a custom command we'll be introducing.
Move the check to msg_post_recv and let it check only the TLVs defined by
the standard.

When running as grand master, the attributes of the local clock are not
known by the ptp4l program. Since these attributes may change over time,
for example when losing signal from GPS satellites, we need to have a
way to provide updated information at run time. This patch provides a
new TLV intended for local IPC that contains the required settings.

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.

The function, tlv_post_recv, and the functions it calls don't check
the length of the tlv before flipping the byte order of fields. An
attacker (or a really buggy client) can craft a message causing the
byte order of data outside the received message to be flipped.
None of the supported tlvs are large enough to flip bytes outside the
ptp_message struct, which could corrupt the heap. However, it's easy
to mess up the message's refcnt field, leading to memory leaks.
The fix is to check that the tlv length is what is expected when
receiving, and tlv_post_recv needs to return an int to signal when a
tlv is invalid.

This non-portable, implementation specific message is designed to inform
external programs about the relationship between the local clock and the
remote master clock.
