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.

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.

Arm the fault-clearing timer only when an event causes a port to change state

The current code for the timestamping mode does not allow interfaces to have
separate timestamping modes. This is (probably) due to hardware timestamping
mode being required on all ports to work properly.
This patch removes the timestamping field in the struct iface, and makes it a
clock variable which is really what the mode does anyways. Ports get passed
the timestamping mode but no longer appear as though they are separate.

If the new ethtool operation is supported, then use it to verify that the PHC
selected by the user is correct. If the user doesn't specify a PHC and ethtool
is supported then automatically select the PHC device.
If the user specifies a PHC device, and the ethtool operation is suppported,
automatically confirm that the PHC device requested is correct. This check is
performed for all ports, in order to verify that a boundary clock setup is
valid.
The check for PHC device validity is not done in the transport because the
only thing necessary for performing the check is the port name. Handled this
in the port_open code instead.

The current port code is very defensive. As the code now stands, we throw
