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.

When ptp4l was configured to use the auto delay mechanism and the first
pdelay request was not received in the slave or uncalibrated state, it
would not make any pdelay requests itself, because there was no delay
timer running.

Because of packet reordering that can occur in the network, in the
hardware, or in the networking stack, a follow up message can appear
to arrive in the application before the matching sync message. As this
is a normal occurrence, and the sequenceID message field ensures
proper matching, the ptp4l program accepts out of order packets.
This patch adds an additional check using the software time stamps
from the networking stack to verify that the sync message did arrive
first. This check is only useful if the sequence IDs generated by
the master might possibly be incorrect.

This patch lets a port send the first announce message one millisecond
after the port state transition, rather than waiting one announce interval.
This change is needed because it is desirable to reconfigure the time
network without delay, especially in P2P mode.

This patch adds a new timer for use in 802.1AS-2011 applications. When
running as a slave in gPTP mode, the program must monitor both announce
and sync messages from the master. If either one goes missing, then we
trigger a BMC election. The sync timeout is actually reset by a valid
sync/follow up pair of messages.

Ken Ichikawa has identified a situation in which a sync message can be
wrongly associated with a follow up after the sequence counter wraps
around.
Port is LISTENING
Sync (seqId 0) : ignored
Fup (seqId 0) : ignored
Sync (seqId 1) : ignored
Port becomes UNCALIBRATED here
Fup (seqId 1) : cached!
Sync (seqId 2) : cached
Fup (seqId 2) : match
Sync (seqId 3) : cached
Fup (seqId 3) : match
...
Sync (seqId 65535) : cached
Fup (seqId 65535) : match
Sync (seqId 0) : cached
Fup (seqId 0) : match
Sync (seqId 1) : match with old Fup!!
Fup (seqId 1) : cached!
Sync (seqId 2) : cached
Fup (seqId 2) : match
Actually, I experienced 65500 secs offset every about 65500 secs.
I'm thinking this is the cause.
This patch fixes the issue by changing the port code to remember one
sync or one follow up, never both. The previous ad hoc logic has been
replaced with a small state machine that handles the messages in the
proper order.

The last follow up message arriving out of order is cached. Before the state
machine changes to UNCALIBRATED, all sync and follow up messages are discarded.
If we get into that state between a sync and follow up message, the latter is
cached. When there's no real roerdering happening, it's kept cached forever.
When we restart the master, it starts numbering the messages from zero again.
The initial synchronization doesn't take always the same amount of time, so it
can happen that we get into UNCALIBRATED a little bit faster than before,
managing to get the sync message with the sequenceId that we missed last time.
As it has the same sequenceId as the cached (old) follow up message, it's
incorrectly assumed those two belong together.
Flush the cache when changing to UNCALIBRATED. Also, do similar thing for other
cached packets.

When a port makes a transition from one state to another, it resets all of
the message timers. While this is the correct behavior for E2E mode, the
P2P mode requires sending peer delay requests most of the time.
Even though all the other timer logic is identical, still making an
exception for P2P mode would make the code even harder to follow. So this
patch introduces two nearly identical helper functions to handle timer
reprogramming during a state transition.

A timeout of 15 seconds is not always acceptable, make it configurable.
By popular consensus, instead of using a linear number of seconds, use
the 2^N format for the time interval, just like the other intervals in
the PTP data sets. In addition to numeric values, let the configuration
file support 'ASAP' to have the fault reset immediately.
[RC - moved the handling of special case tmo=0 and added a break out
of the fd event loop in case the fds have been closed.
- changed the linear seconds option to log second instead.
- changed the commit message to reflect the final version. ]

This patch implements the capable flag as follows.

3. If we get multiple responses, we throw a fault,

of a port being not capable. We let the port be always 'capable' for now,
